Australia is preparing for further protests following accusations of police brutality during demonstrations against Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit to Sydney. The Palestine Action Group Sydney organized protests to demand accountability for police actions, which included the use of pepper spray and physical assaults on peaceful demonstrators, some of whom were praying. Australian leaders, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, expressed concern over the violence, while calls for resignations from police officials were made by protest organizers. The situation has intensified amid ongoing tensions regarding Israel’s actions in Gaza, with critics highlighting the implications of Herzog’s visit.
