SYDNEY — An Australian teenager accused of posting online threats to kill Israeli President Isaac Herzog has been granted bail under strict conditions ahead of Herzog’s planned visit to Australia, local media reported.

The teen, identified in court as Darcy Tinning, allegedly made the threat in January in a social media post that referenced the use of a firearm and included antisemitic language calling for violence against the Jewish community, according to The Sydney Morning Herald. The post also allegedly targeted U.S. President Donald Trump.

Australian Federal Police and New South Wales Police searched the teen’s family home in Sydney this week and seized his mobile phone, which investigators say contained screenshots of the alleged threats. He was charged with using a carriage service to make a death threat, an offense that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. Police also reported seizing a small amount of cannabis during the search.

Prosecutors opposed bail, arguing the teen posed a serious risk with Herzog’s arrival imminent. Defense lawyers said he had no access to firearms, no history of violence and no links to extremist groups.

A magistrate ruled that while the allegations were serious and security concerns were heightened, strict bail conditions could mitigate the risk. The teen was released on house arrest and may leave his home only with his parents. He is barred from contacting Herzog or Trump, prohibited from using social media, limited to one mobile phone, and required to surrender his passport. He is also banned from entering international airports.

The case is due to return to court in April.

Authorities said the investigation was led by the Australian Federal Police’s national security unit amid a recent rise in antisemitic incidents. Protests against Herzog’s visit are planned in Sydney and other cities, prompting police to impose restrictions on demonstrations for public safety reasons.

Herzog, whose role is largely ceremonial, is expected to visit Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra during his stay, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.
