A stark black-and-white capture of a mass protest at Sydney Town Hall on January 9, 2026. An estimated 20,000 to 30,000 people gathered to protest the visit of Israel's President. The photograph contrasts the grand, static architecture of the building with the dynamic, dense crowd below. A focal point emerges on the right as a protester holds a bold, altered image of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, highlighting the intense political discourse and the scale of the public demonstration.
