Australian radio station SEN announced on Tuesday that it had parted ways with Peter Lalor, The Australian newspaper's former chief cricket writer, in the middle of a test series between Australia and Sri Lanka after his commentary on his social media regarding Israel’s war on Gaza.

Lalor’s feed on X includes reshares of news stories about Israel’s attacks on Gaza and accusations of genocide against the Israeli government.

The radio station’s management told Lalor that accusations of antisemitism had been levelled against him, which he objected to. He had been working as a freelance commentator for the station.

On Monday night, Lalor released a statement saying that he had received calls from senior management at SEN and was informed the next morning that he would no longer work for them.
