Tens of thousands of protesters took part in a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Auckland, New Zealand. The group "Aotearoa for Palestine," which organized the protest, claimed that 50,000 people participated, while local police estimated that 20,000 people took part. The protesters called on the government to impose sanctions on Israel and consider recognizing a Palestinian state. Demonstrators held signs reading "Don't normalize genocide." A spokesman for the Jewish Council in New Zealand said he appreciates the peace aspirations of the protest organizers but condemns the calls to impose sanctions on Israel.
