A sea of pro-Palestinian protestors has gathered in Sydney’s Town Hall to protest Isaac Herzog’s visit to the nation. This comes as the supreme court rejected Palestine Action Group’s legal challenge to the extra police powers granted during Herzog’s visit. The Israeli president was invited to mourn the victims of the Bondi attack, but many Australians felt his presence was not appropriate given the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

00:00Not everyone was rolling out the welcome mat as Israel's president touched down in Sydney.
00:10Pro-Palestinian demonstrators made clear their disapproval with the official visitor
00:15against the backdrop of Israel's ongoing war in Gaza.
00:19You would expect a leader of a nation would have more compassion, more humanity and more empathy.
00:25There's been some things done in response to October 7 that maybe went a bit too far.
00:30I think maybe Australia needs to take a slightly different stance.
00:33Moments earlier, organisers were dealt a legal setback.
00:37The Supreme Court threw out a challenge against the government's major event declaration granting extra police powers.
00:44We've lost this case, but that does not affect what we're doing tonight,
00:47which is going to have a massive protest against Herzog.
00:50I am slightly worried. I think it would be pretty silly to not look around and feel a bit intimidated by the police presence here.
00:56Earlier, the Premier was unapologetic about the extraordinary measures.
01:01The bottom line here is we've got an international visitor who's been invited by the Commonwealth Government.
01:06I think reasonable people expect us to keep him safe and to keep the community safe during this visit.
01:12Despite the Supreme Court decision, demonstrators here don't appear to be deterred and are determined Israel's president hears their message.
01:22Elsewhere in the state, demonstrators picketed an Illawarra steel manufacturer with trade ties to Israel,
01:28while protests were held across other capital cities.
01:31A UN inquiry found the Israeli president incited genocide by saying an entire nation was responsible for October 7,
01:39a finding Israel rejects.
01:41Mr Herzog today criticised the protests.
01:44These demonstrations, in most cases, what you hear and see,
01:49comes to undermine and legitimise our right, my nation's right,
01:54the nation which I am the head of state of, of its mere existence,
01:59and is contradictory to whatever ever was said and done by Australia.
02:05Protesters have vowed to continue demonstrations during his Australian visit.
