Just one week after being reinstated by Creative Australia as Australia's representative to the 2026 Venice Biennale, artist Khaled Sabsabi is under renewed attack from pro-Israel activists and News Corp, with a fresh 113-page dossier being circulated with the intent of further damaging the artist's reputation.
In a move that appears to be deliberately timed to the release of a new government review into anti-semitism that recommends terminating funding to artists who "facilitate anti-semitism", the dossier accusing Sabsabi of a history of anti-semitism and supporting terrorism has been circulated throughout the arts community.
