BRUSSELS, Belgium,
EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Sunday she was “shocked” by a deadly shooting at Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach, which the bloc’s top diplomat condemned as an “appalling act of violence” against the Jewish community.
“Europe stands with Australia and Jewish communities everywhere. We are united against violence, antisemitism and hatred,” von der Leyen, the European Commission President, wrote on X.
“This appalling act of violence against the Jewish community must be unequivocally condemned,” added EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas.
