The demonstrators marched towards the US consulate in Karachi, calling for a free Palestine and decrying US support for Israel’s war on Gaza.

Australian Greens to push for vote on Palestinian statehood
The leader of the Australian Greens, Adam Bandt, says his party will call a vote on Palestinian statehood in Australia’s Parliament next week, after a similar move announced by Ireland, Spain and Norway last week.
“Labor says today they support recognition of Palestine,” Bandt said in a post on X, referring to Australia’s Labor party-led government. “Let’s see how Labor votes.”
Bandt announced the plan after Australia’s Assistant Foreign Minister, Tim Watts, a member of the Australian Labor Party, said “anyone who is serious about peace knows that requires a two-state solution, a Palestinian state alongside the state of Israel” in comments reported by the Guardian Australia.
