Notably, not all reactions were open-handedly sympathetic.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and President Isaac Herzog, both expressed sorrow and sympathy for the victim and for Australia's Jewish community, but blasted the federal government, claiming it had allowed antisemitism to fester.
"Our hearts go out to our Jewish sisters and brothers in Sydney who have been attacked by vile terrorists as they went to light the first candle of Chanukah," Herzog said.
"Time and again we called on the Australian government to take action and fight against the enormous wave of antisemitism that is plaguing Australian society.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jewish community of Sydney and the entire Australian Jewish community at this horrific time."
Netanyahu, meanwhile, praised the actions of a man who was filmed tackling and disarming one of the gunmen, but lashed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
"I called upon you to replace weakness with action, appeasement with resolve," Netanyahu said in a video posted on the Israeli prime minister's official X account.
"Instead, prime minister, you replaced weakness with weakness and appeasement with more appeasement."
