Palestine groups protest Israeli president’s visit to Australia

Pro-Palestinian groups in Australia are planning protests against Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit to honor the victims of the Bondi Beach mass shooting, criticizing his role in Gaza. Despite government restrictions on rallies, activists are calling for accountability for Herzog’s actions in Gaza, with Amnesty International Australia urging people to take to the streets. While the Australian Prime Minister emphasizes unity during Herzog’s visit, civil society groups have lodged complaints against him, citing his alleged involvement in inciting genocide against Palestinians. The UN has accused Herzog of inciting genocide following attacks in 2023, leading to a significant death toll in Gaza, sparking further calls for accountability and justice.
