Pressure builds on Israel to extradite former Melbourne principal

Pressure is building on Israel to extradite a former Melbourne school principal to Victoria where she is wanted on 74 child sexual abuse charges.

Malka Leifer fled to Israel nearly a decade ago after being accused of molesting girls at the conservative Adass Israel School.
