The weekly pro-Palestine protest in Sydney is set to take a dramatic turn this July 3, with organisers planning a march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge and onward to the U.S. Consulate—diverging from its usual path through the city’s CBD.

The protest, organised by the Palestine Action Group, has been prompted by concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
