This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hundreds of people joined a pro-Palestinian rally at the Sydney Opera House while the building was lit in the colours of the Israeli flag amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese earlier called for the march in Sydney to be abandoned, saying the killing and capture of innocent civilians should be condemned.
Former Australian ambassador to Israel, Dave Sharma, told ABC News Breakfast it was a "failure" that members of the Jewish community were not able to go to the opera house last night to see its sails lit up.
The march came a day after a pro-Palestinian rally that took place on Sunday night in Lakemba drew condemnation from Foreign Minister Penny Wong.
Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-CEO Alex Ryvchin said the political and community leaders who endorsed the gathering should be "held to account".
There was a brief interruption before those rallying left Town Hall for the Sydney Opera House, when a man unveiled an Israeli flag nearby.
