On Monday night, outrage erupted in Sydney as police clashed with thousands protesting against Israeli President Isaac Herzog's controversial visit. Video footage captured scenes of violent confrontations between officers and demonstrators, prompting accusations of police brutality. NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon stated that officers had acted with 'remarkable restraint', with reports showing 27 arrests and 10 officers injured during the protest. The clashes came on the heels of tensions surrounding increased police powers aimed at controlling public demonstrations, ostensibly in response to previous violent incidents. New South Wales Premier Chris Minns defended the police's actions, maintaining that they acted to protect public order. The protests gained notable attention when prominent activists, including Grace Tame, led chants criticizing the Israeli government's actions. As protests continue, organizers plan to rally again, demanding accountability and advocating for the rights to peacefully demonstrate.
