Tensions are rising in the country following Hamas’ bloody incursion into Israel.
SYDNEY: Australian police are considering applying special stop-and-search powers for the first time in almost two decades to attendees at a pro-Palestinian rally on Sunday, as tensions rise in the country after Hamas’ bloody incursion into Israel.
“If they fail to do so it is an offence, these are extraordinary powers,” acting commissioner Dave Hudson told a news conference.The planned demonstration has touched off nationwide debate after footage from a Monday rally by the same group showed people chanting “gas the jews”. Organisers claim a fringe group of “vile” antisemites attended and were told to leave.
Countries across the developed world are curbing pro-Palestinian protests out of concern the Israel-Hamas conflict could trigger violence at home. France banned pro-Palestinian protests on Thursday saying they were likely to “generate disturbances to public order”.
