Pro-Palestinian demonstrations are expected to continue across the Asia-Pacific region until the end of November, particularly around the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People on November 29. While most protests are peaceful, larger rallies have occurred, especially in Muslim-majority countries like Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Pakistan, often following Friday prayers.
In Australia, weekly protests are held in major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Similar demonstrations are also taking place in New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea.
Authorities in several countries have increased security measures around embassies, places of worship, and protest sites to prevent potential violence. In some regions like India and Singapore, protests have been banned as a precaution. Participants and the public may face transportation disruptions and heightened police presence near gathering spots due to security concerns.
