Planned pro-Palestinian protest at Sydney Opera House

NSW Police Minister Yasmin Catley stated that a planned protest at the Sydney Opera House should not proceed, but the decision lies with the NSW Police.
The protest is organized by the Palestine Action Group, which plans to gather at Hyde Park and march to the Opera House on October 12.
NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Peter McKenna stated they would likely challenge the protest's permit in the NSW Supreme Court due to public safety concerns.
The protest is intended to coincide with the two-year anniversary of Israel's military action in Gaza, which has resulted in over 65,000 Palestinian deaths, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
