        "summary": "Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese faced protests from Muslim and Jewish communities during a visit to Sydney's largest mosque for Eid al-Fitr prayers, where demonstrators criticised his government's perceived inconsistent stance on Israel's military actions in Gaza following the 2023 Hamas attacks. The interruptions, including chants calling him a \"genocide supporter,\" lasted about 15 minutes and referenced the deaths of Palestinian civilians, amid broader frustrations over Australia's recent designation of Hizbut Tahrir as a terrorist organisation after a deadly Sydney shooting. Despite the disruption, Albanese described the event as overwhelmingly positive, emphasising the scale of the 30,000-strong crowd.",
        "content": "<p>Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese visited Australia\u2019s\nlargest mosque to meet with Eid al-Fitr worshippers. During the meeting\nwith the Eid congregation, Albanese received protests over his stance on\nthe allied Israel\u2019s attacks in Gaza. According to Reuters on Saturday\n(21\/3\/2026), parts of the Muslim and Jewish communities in Australia are\nangry over the fence-sitting attitude taken by the centre-left\ngovernment since the Gaza war began, which has expressed concern for\nPalestine, repeatedly called for a ceasefire, and supported Israel\u2019s\nright to self-defence. Video footage shows protesters interrupting the\nevent about 15 minutes after Albanese and Home Affairs Minister Tony\nBurke joined the worshippers at Lakemba Mosque in western Sydney on\nFriday (20\/3) to mark the end of the Ramadan fasting month. The\ndemonstrators jeered, telling Albanese and Burke to \u201cGet out!\u201d and\ncalling them \u201cgenocide supporters,\u201d referring to the killing of\nPalestinian civilians in Gaza by Israel following the 2023 Hamas\nmilitant attacks. \u201cDear brothers and sisters, please calm down a bit,\u201d\nsaid one of the organisers to the crowd, urging people to sit down and\nstop recording the incident. \u201cThis is Eid al-Fitr. This is a day full of\njoy.\u201d A security officer was seen tackling a protester to the ground\nbefore escorting them away. \u201cShameful!\u201d shouted the protesters who\nfollowed Albanese and Burke as they left. The event at the mosque was\n\u201cvery positive,\u201d Albanese said afterwards, despite the incident. \u201cIf\nthere are a few people jeering in the middle of a 30,000-person crowd,\nthat should be viewed in that perspective,\u201d he told reporters, adding\nthat the community had handled the protesters. He added that some\nfrustration stemmed from the government\u2019s designation this month of the\nIslamist organisation Hizbut Tahrir as a banned hate group under laws\ntriggered by the deadly mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney on 14\nDecember.<\/p>",
