- Following police advice, Premier Chris Minns said he will not allow the Palestine Action Group to march over the Sydney Harbour Bridge on Sunday, halting the planned protest.
- The Palestine Action Group organised the 'March for Humanity' to highlight alleged deliberate starvation in Gaza and informed NSW Police of plans for a Sunday bridge march.
- Community support includes 83 sign-on endorsements; police plan to seek a court ruling to deem the protest unlawful on Sunday.
- Legal action is under way as police will seek to block Sunday's protest and challenge it in the Supreme Court.
- With legal and scheduling debates ongoing, a court ruling may ultimately determine the protest's fate in the coming days, and organisers have proposed postponing the march.
