Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar condemns demonstrators at a pro-Palestinian march in Sydney, accusing them of aligning with radical Islam and helping drag the West to the “sidelines of history.”
“Radical protestors at Sydney Harbour Bridge today holding an image of Iran’s ‘Supreme Leader’ — the most dangerous leader of fundamentalist Islam, the world’s largest exporter of terror and a mass executioner,” Sa’ar writes on X, sharing a photo from the protest showing participants holding an image of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Tens of thousands marched across Sydney’s Harbour Bridge earlier today in a demonstration organized by the Palestine Action Group Sydney. Protesters called for sanctions on Israel, unrestricted humanitarian aid to Gaza and an immediate ceasefire.
A Facebook post for the event — dubbed the “March for Humanity” — did not mention Hamas or the remaining 50 Israeli hostages held in Gaza.
