The Problem With Isaac Herzog's 'Unifying' Trip Down Under

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has arrived in Australia... but not everyone is rolling out the red carpet.

Herzog’s presence is being hailed as a moment of unity by some, while others demand his arrest.

So who is this man and what's the story here?

And in headlines today, The Israeli president is set to carry on with his Australia tour after thousands attended a protest against his visit in Sydney, which descended into chaos; US lawmakers have tried to interview Ghislaine Maxwell but she invoked her 5th Amendment rights to avoid answering questions that would be incriminating; Christchurch shooter Brenton Tarrant appeared in the Court of Appeal in Wellington yesterday, seeking to have his guilty pleas discarded, saying he wasn't in a rational frame of mind at the time; The winners at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics are reporting that their medals are falling off their ribbons and breaking; Aussie Michael Dickson is celebrating his team, the Seattle Seahawk’s Superbowl win saying he can’t wait to get back home for some chips and chicken salt
