![PM defends decision to invite Herzog to Australia
Nick Newling
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has backed his decision to invite Israeli President Isaac Herzog to Australia, saying it was appropriate to allow the Jewish community to mourn with the leader.
"He was [invited] because he's the head of state. He's the equivalent of the governor-general, and when the Jewish community asked for their head of state to visit. I think it is appropriate that people be allowed to mourn and to do so respectfully," Albanese told Triple M radio in Hobart.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zahpozqjxl4liocol7bqintr/bafkreiffklaere6hf5atvxv3tmtwx575zgssevwjncr3agmlizex32r4ta)
