# Australia began public hearings in an inquiry into the Bondi Beach mass shooting in December which killed 15 people, with Jewish Australians giving evidence of their experience of rising domestic antisemitism. The retired judge leading the wide-ranging national inquiry known as a royal commission, Virginia Bell, says the first block of public hearings will investigate the nature and prevalence of antisemitism. A second block of hearings later this month will focus on the circumstances leading up to the Bondi Beach attack and issues raised in the interim report.
