Separate events were held across Australia over the weekend, as tens of thousands called for a solution to the Israel-Gaza conflict.
These events called for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of Israeli hostages, and several politicians have voiced their support.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says tensions are high in Australia, with the region's Jewish and Muslim communities reporting an uptick in harassment and abuse.
