Executive Council of Australian Jewry Co-CEO Alex Ryvchin discusses the potential for a 60-day Israel-Gaza ceasefire and the 'unpredictable' nature of Hamas.
'They're a highly unpredictable actor, their whole ideology is based on death,' Mr Ryvchin told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio.
'Their whole calculus on propaganda and political victory is based on more death and more suffering.
'It has to end with the defeat and the final dismantlement of the infrastructure of Hamas.'

NSW Police to drop anti-riot charge against injured protester Hannah Thomas

NSW Police will drop some of the charges laid against former Greens candidate Hannah Thomas after a review found officers incorrectly sought to use extraordinary emergency powers introduced to quell major riots. Instead, Thomas, who suffered a serious eye injury after police broke up an anti-Israel protest outside a business in Belmore last month, will face a more standard charge of failing to comply with a move-on direction along with the existing charge of hindering police. On Monday, this masthead revealed Thomas had been charged under a rarely cited emergency anti-riot power introduced after the 2005 Cronulla riots to deal with 'large-scale public disorder'. Court documents obtained by the Herald revealed that unlike the four others arrested at the protest, Thomas was charged under an emergency power known as part 6a, which requires authorisation by an assistant commissioner or higher to be used. The extraordinary powers, which police last threatened to invoke after demonstrations at the Sydney Opera House in 2023, give officers the ability to stop and search vehicles, detain people and disperse crowds. Loading But on Monday Assistant Commissioner Brett McFadden said that after a review of the charges as part of the critical incident investigation launched following Thomas's injury, police would seek to withdraw the charge laid using the emergency powers. 'On Monday 30 June 2025, I put in place a process to review the charges laid in this matter to ensure the relevant and most appropriate charges are applied,' he said. 'The review is part of normal critical incident protocols.
