Antisemitism probe finds ‘workplace of fear' at Sydney Uni
A preliminary report by SafeWork NSW into antisemitism at Sydney University found it took inadequate actions to protect Jewish staff and students in the 11 months following the Hamas attack on Israel, and suggested a full investigation would uncover 'contraventions of law'.
But the recommendation to launch a full investigation was rejected by SafeWork NSW's decision-making panel. No reasons were given for the decision.

Israel military retrieves Thai hostage's body from Gaza
The Israeli military has retrieved the body of Thai hostage Nattapong Pinta, who had been held in Gaza since Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, Defence Minister Israel Katz says. Pinta's body was held by a Palestinian militant group called the Mujahedeen Brigades, and was retrieved from the area of Rafah in southern Gaza, Katz said. His family in Thailand has been notified. Pinta, an agricultural worker, was abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz, a small community near the border, where one in four people was killed or taken hostage during the Hamas-led 2023 attack that triggered the devastating war in Gaza. The Israeli military said Pinta had been abducted alive and killed by his captors, who had also killed and taken to Gaza the bodies of two more Israeli-American hostages that were retrieved this week. There was no immediate comment from the militant group. Hamas-led militants killed 1200 people in Israel in the 2023 attack, Israel's deadliest day, and took 251 hostages, 55 of whom remain in Gaza. Twenty hostages are believed to still be alive, according to Israeli authorities. Israel responded to the Hamas attacks with a military campaign that has killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health authorities in the Hamas-run strip, and left much of the enclave in ruins, with a population of more than two million people largely displaced.

Israel says body of Thai hostage Nattapong Pinta has been retrieved from Gaza
Israel says it has retrieved the body of a Thai hostage kidnapped by Hamas militants and taken to Gaza during the October 7, 2023, terror attacks. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said on Saturday that the body of Thai citizen Nattapong Pinta had been returned to Israel in a special military operation. Mr Pinta was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz and killed in captivity near the start of the war, the prime minister's office said. Thais were the largest group of foreigners held captive by Hamas militants. The news comes a day after the bodies of two Israeli-American hostages taken from the same kibbutz were retrieved. Fifty-five hostages remain in Gaza, of whom Israel says more than half are dead.
