Hawzah News Agency- Demonstrators gathered in the Marble Foyer, kneeling with their hands behind their backs in a symbolic act meant to portray the detention of flotilla activists by Israeli authorities.
They shouted “Sanction Israel!” and accused Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong of being “complicit in genocide” as security officers escorted them from the building.
The protest follows a growing controversy over the treatment of activists involved in the flotilla.
The issue gained wider attention after Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video on social media last week appearing to mock detained flotilla activists while officers pushed and dragged some of them, drawing global condemnation.
The protest comes days after the Global Sumud Flotilla said that Israel had seized all 50 vessels attempting to reach Gaza by sea.
