‘Plainly preposterous': Alex Ryvchin slams Albanese government's ban of Hillel Fuld
Executive Council of Australian Jewry Co-CEO Alex Ryvchin has called for the Australian government's ban of Israeli-American speaker Hillel Fuld from the country to be 'overturned'. US ambassador to Israel has stepped in after the Albanese government quietly cancelled the travel visa of Hillel Fuld who was due to visit in the coming weeks. 'It's a plainly proposterous decision; Hillel Fuld is a tech entrepreneur, he is an expert in his field, he is an uncontroversial figure,' Mr Rvychin told Sky News host Peta Credlin. 'To think that he was someone that could be deemed of such ill character, that he should be excluded and banned from entering this country, is absurd.'

US ambassador to Israel intervenes after Hillel Fuld's banning from Australia
Sky News host Peta Credlin says the US ambassador to Israel has stepped in after the Albanese government quietly cancelled the travel visa of Israeli-American tech advocate Hillel Fuld who was due to visit in the coming weeks. In a decision statement, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke cited 'islamophobia rhetoric' which risked inciting discord against Australia's Muslim population. The appeal to have the decision overturned came hours after the Australian Jewish Association (AJA) called on the Trump administration to intervene in what it called an 'attack' on Jewish Australians.

Anthony Albanese bracing for ‘nasty confrontation' with Donald Trump
Sky News host Andrew Bolt says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese looks headed for a 'nasty confrontation' with US President Donald Trump when they are set to meet at the G7 in Canada. The US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has confronted Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke after he revoked the visa of Israeli-American speaker Hillel Fuld from Australia, sparking an international diplomacy test for the Albanese government. This comes after US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth called for Australia to increase its defence spending to 3.5 per cent of GDP. 'On both issues, this government is on the very wrong side, and the US is already complaining about that ban,' Mr Bolt said.
