In a series of coordinated demonstrations held across major Australian cities, thousands of protesters gathered on Saturday to express solidarity with Palestinians amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East. According to Reuters, rallies were staged in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, drawing participants from diverse communities and advocacy groups.

Organizers called for an immediate ceasefire and urged the Australian government to reassess its diplomatic stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Placards bearing messages such as “End the Occupation” and “Free Palestine” were prominently displayed, while speakers emphasized humanitarian concerns and international law.

Reuters reported that the protests remained largely peaceful, with local police monitoring the events to ensure public safety. No major incidents were recorded.

The demonstrations come amid heightened global scrutiny of the conflict, with similar rallies taking place in Europe, North America, and parts of Asia.
