Thousands took part in a pro-Palestinian march in Australia’s biggest city, Sydney, today, getting last-minute approval amid concerns after some protesters at an earlier rally had chanted anti-Jewish slogans, according to Reuters.

In Sydney, Australia’s biggest city, around 15,000 people attended Saturday’s march, organiser Palestine Action Group said, with demonstrators chanting “Palestine will never die” and waving Palestine flags. Police, including officers on horseback, patrolled the event that closed city streets, and a police helicopter circled overhead.
