Labor MP Ed Husic says Australian politicians have “underestimated how strongly Australians feel” about Israel’s conduct in Gaza after a pro-Palestine march across Sydney Harbour Bridge, with Anthony Albanese to pursue a call with Benjamin Netanyahu this week.

New South Wales police estimated about 100,000 people walked across the bridge on Sunday. March organisers the Palestine Action Group put the crowd size at 300,000. Images of the event were broadcast around the world.
