Tens of thousands participated in a Sydney Harbour Bridge march demanding increased humanitarian aid for Gaza, defying a police ban overturned by the Supreme Court. Organizers, the Palestine Action Group, called it the "March for Humanity." Police reported approximately 90,000 attendees, citing concerns about crowd control. Israel's foreign and opposition leaders criticized the protest, alleging links to extremist groups. The court decision emphasized the urgency of the Gaza crisis and the public's right to assemble, granting protesters immunity from certain charges.
