Why

Israeli President Isaac Herzog is due to visit Australia, February 9–12, despite a growing coalition of human rights advocates, legal experts, anti-Zionist Jews and community groups calling on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to cancel his invitation.

Herzog is named in the International Court of Justice order on the genocide in Gaza, and the United Nations Commission of Inquiry found that he “incited the commission of genocide” against Palestinians in Gaza. He has also been photographed signing bombs to be dropped on Gaza in 2024.

Herzog bears responsibility for the deaths of more than 71,000 Palestinians, the forced displacement of more than 2 million people and the escalation of settler violence in the Occupied West Bank.

Palestine solidarity groups have called nationwide protests on Monday February 9. Join them to demand this war criminal be held to account.
