Chris Minns intervenes to halt pro-Palestine rallies after the New South Wales government illuminated the Opera House in support of Israel following HMAS’s recent military operation. During the event, pro-Palestine protesters breached the premises, ignited flares at the Opera House, and set fire to an Israeli flag.
Additional protests are planned for this weekend, and the NSW Police have declared that individuals must submit a Form 1 for approval. Any rallies conducted without this proper submission will be considered illegal, potentially leading to the arrest of the protestors. This stands in contrast to the treatment of anti-lockdown protesters during the pandemic when they were warned of potential arrests, and the entire city was placed under police blockade.
Chris Minns, in an interview with 2GB, has declared that pro-Palestine rallies will not receive approval this week. He holds the belief that these protests may not remain peaceful, and the Jewish community should feel safe when going about their activities over the weekend.
