JERUSALEM, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned Sunday's ​deadly shooting at a Jewish ​holiday celebration in Sydney and said he had warned his Australian ⁠counterpart that the country's support for Palestinian statehood would fuel antisemitism.

Gunmen opened fire during an event marking the first night ​of Hanukkah at Sydney's Bondi Beach, killing at ‍least 11 people in what ​Australian officials described as a targeted antisemitic attack. One of the suspected gunmen was also killed.

Netanyahu said the shooting was "cold blooded murder".
