Thousands of protesters clashed with police across Australian cities during demonstrations against Israeli President Isaac Herzog's visit, with the most violent scenes occurring in Sydney. Dozens were arrested and several police officers were injured as crowds refused to disperse after being asked to relocate from Town Hall to Hyde Park.
