Tens of thousands join pro-Palestinian march over Sydney Harbour Bridge
- Approximately 90,000 people marched across Sydney Harbour Bridge on Sunday to show support for Gaza and urge the Australian government to apply greater pressure on Israel.
- The protest followed weeks of reports of widespread starvation due to an 11-week Israeli blockade of aid into Gaza, amid rising global concern over the humanitarian crisis.
- Despite police warnings about public safety and concerns of a crowd crush, the largely peaceful march included speeches urging humanitarian focus and criticism of media labeling protesters as extremists.
- NSW Police estimated the crowd at 90,000 and a Supreme Court judge rejected a police request to declare the protest unlawful, while NSW Premier Chris Minns said he did not support the protest taking place on the bridge.
- The march highlighted increasing domestic pressure on Australian leadership and underscored calls for a response to Gaza’s dire situation, while international leaders are also moving toward recognizing Palestine.
