Tonight, twenty living hostages have finally come home to their families. For two years, Israelis and Jews worldwide have been holding their breath for their return. We hope this is the beginning of a process of healing and rebuilding for the victims and their families,...
We are absolutely devastated at the scenes coming out of Manchester. It is unthinkable that Jews attending synagogue on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur, are attacked and murdered simply for being Jewish. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families, and...
"We welcome President Trump’s Gaza peace plan. It’s clear the plan, which has broad-based support by Arab, Muslim, and Western nations, is a direct result of both military and Trump administration pressure on Hamas. Israel has agreed to the plan, and we strongly urge all Western...
The Zionist Federation of Australia (ZFA) is deeply disappointed by the Albanese Government's formal recognition of a Palestinian State at the United Nations. For decades, successive Australian governments have supported a negotiated two-state solution as the only viable path to peace. This bipartisan position held that...
The Zionist Federation of Australia (ZFA) unequivocally rejects the September 2025 report of the UN Pillay Commission accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza. This is a baseless and biased assault on truth and justice. It is the height of absurdity that the UN Human Rights...

"The horrific scenes emerging out of a major terror attack in Jerusalem is a stark reminder of the existential threat facing Israelis every day. We are devastated that at least five civilians have been murdered in cold blood, and many more injured. Our thoughts are...
Being Jewish in Australia today means facing hate from all sides - from neo-Nazi marches, to anti-Israel rallies steeped in antisemitism. Extremists act with impunity, and violence is spilling onto our streets, putting Australia on a dangerous path. Free speech can never be a cover...
The Zionist Federation of Australia is deeply disturbed by revelations that Iran was involved in the planning and execution of multiple antisemitic attacks on Australian soil, including the firebombing of the Adass Synagogue in the heart of Melbourne’s Jewish community last December, and at least...
The Zionist Federation of Australia strongly opposes the Government’s intention to unilaterally recognise a Palestinian state at the UN next month. While we support a negotiated two-state outcome, moving forward while Hamas remains in power and the Palestinian Authority has not delivered verified reforms will...
We welcome the Prime Minister's comments that Australia will not follow other nations in prematurely recognising a Palestinian state. The Government has consistently stated that recognition cannot occur until Hamas is removed from power, all hostages are returned, and the Palestinian Authority is reformed. Recognising...
