Video footage shows a large gathering of pro-Palestinian protesters outside the Sydney Opera House, with a significant police presence.
Sydney : In a show of support for Palestine, hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered at the iconic Sydney Opera House, prompting local authorities to advise the Jewish community to steer clear of the area.
Approximately 1,000 protesters embarked on a 3-kilometer (2-mile) march from Sydney Town Hall to the picturesque harborside landmark. Their rallying cry, heard echoing through the streets, was, “Free, free Palestine!” A substantial police presence accompanied the demonstrators, maintaining order and security throughout the event. Notably, during the rally at the town hall, an individual briefly displayed an Israeli flag before hastily departing the scene.
The Sydney Opera House was just one of several public buildings in Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra that were set to be bathed in blue and white illumination — symbolizing the colors of Israel’s flag — on Monday night, as a gesture of solidarity with the Israeli people.
