AI Summary:
Australia is bracing for more demonstrations, as political leaders and civic groups appeal for calm. Police accused of using excessive force against peaceful demonstrations against Israel's visit to Sydney. Palestinian Action Group Sydney called on supporters to gather on Tuesday afternoon. Australian racial justice group Democracy in Colour said it was “horrified” by the “excessive police force” used against protesters who had gathered to express their objection to Herzog’s visit. Protest organisers say the Israeli president, whom a United Nations commission of inquiry has found to be responsible for inciting genocide against Palestinians in Gaza by Israeli forces, should not be immune from protests against his visit to Australia. Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza on October 8, 2023, with support from the US. At least 72,032 people, including almost 600 killed after the latest ceasefire in October 2025. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he was 'devastated' by the events.
