Pro-Palestinian protesters rally against Israeli President’s visit to Australia: Video
Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered in Sydney on Monday, February 9, to protest the official visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog to Australia.
The protest, organised by the Palestinian Action Group, was one of approximately 30 similar rallies held across the country.
Police confronted protesters, leading to multiple arrests and others being affected by the use of pepper spray.
President Herzog’s visit to Australia includes commemorations for the victims of last year’s Bondi Beach mass shooting and a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. He is scheduled to return to Israel on Thursday, February 12.
