President Donald Trump said he has “great respect” for the man who is being called a hero after tackling one of the suspected shooters in the deadly Hanukkah attack on Bondi Beach in Australia on Sunday. The president made the comments during his remarks at the White House Christmas reception on Sunday.

The University of Sydney is facing criticism for what critics say is its failure to address antisemitism on campus, as shockwaves from the Bondi Beach terrorist attack continue to reverberate.

Naveed Akram, 24, is confirmed to be one of the two shooters who opened fire on a Jewish Hanukah event shortly before 7pm on Sunday.

A bystander who rushed and disarmed one of the Bondi Beach attackers has won praise from leaders around the world, including US President Donald Trump and hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman, who announced a reward program for community heroes.

Australian police said on Monday that they expected to bring criminal charges against the surviving gunman in a deadly shooting spree that targeted a Jewish holiday celebration in Sydney.
