  Speaker 1: Jewish leaders say they're cautiously optimistic about the deal and

• 1:20
  Speaker 1: around the globe. Donald Trump will travel to the Middle
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: East in the coming days to finalize the deal. In Sydney,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: a pro Palestine demonstration at the Sydney Opera House plan
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: for Sunday has been blocked by the New South Wales
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Court of Appeal. Chief Justice Andrew Bell, as well as
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Justices Ian Harrison and Stephen Free, ruled the plan presented
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: too great a risk to public safety to proceed, regardless
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: of its political significance. In a summary read to the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Court on Thursday morning, Justice Free said the route to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the fore Court contains a number of pinch points which
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: would give rise to the risk of crowd crush as
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the root narrows. The justices also flagged an a number
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: of other safety concerns, including compromised emergency services access and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the possibility for mass panic could be exacerbated if a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: bigger crowd than anticipated shows up. It means protesters who
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: demonstrated the Opera House in defiance of the court's ruling
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: could be held in contempt of court and New South
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Wales police can make move on orders and potentially arrest
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: anyone who refuses to comply. Assistant Commissioner Peter McKenna said
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: police will enforce the court's ruling on Sunday.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I would say to anyone who thinks that they could
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: go to the Opera House still and be a part
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: of any top of demonstration or public assembly, that you
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: will be committing an offense and appropriate action will be
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: taken by us.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: The Palestine Action Group left the door open for an
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: appeal to the High Court and indicated they would go
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: ahead with the demonstration, which could attract up to ten
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: thousand people along an alternate route. They've applied to march
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: from George Street to Belmore Park in Sydney City and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Ridgewell of the Palestine Action Group said the march is
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: still necessary even though a peace deal between Israel and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Hamas has been signed.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Yes, because this goes beyond just the genocide over the
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: last two years. We need to end the policy of
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: complicity with an apartheid regime, which has been a pressing
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Palestinian since nineteen forty seven, and it also highlights the
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: urgent need in this state for urgent legal reform around
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: the rights to protest.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: The New South Wales Police took the Palestine Action Group
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to court to stop the demonstration, saying they were concerned
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: about public safety. The proceedings were moved to the Court
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of Appeal at the urging of Police Commissioner mal Lanyon
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: because constitutional elements of the case required the input of
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: State and Territory Attorneys General. The Palestine Action Group had
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: asked the court to find Israel Is committing a genocide
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in Gaza to highlight the importance of their demonstration, and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: also called on New South Wales Premier Chris Mins to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: light the sales of the opera house in the colors
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of the Palestini in a flag. The Premier addressed the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: court's decision at a press conference on Thursday. I think
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: it's the right decision.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I'm glad that common sensus prevailed here. We expect all
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: applicants to abide by the court's decision. We're calling for
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: the organizers to do the same if they elect an
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: alternative route to.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Work with New South Wales police.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: But it's very important and very clear from this judgment
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: that that protest should not take place down at the
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Sydney Opera House.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: The state's Jewish Board of Deputies joined the proceedings as
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: an intervenor for the first time, saying the demonstration would
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: cause significant distress to Australia's Jewish community, who have just
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: marked the second anniversary of the deadly October seven attacks
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: on Israel by Hamas militants. They say it's a painful
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: reminder of the violent protest that erupted at the Opera
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: House just two days after the twenty twenty three attack,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: where an Israeli flag was set alight. Check out those
