Police in New South Wales have settled for a pro-Palestinian vigil set to take place this week, after earlier attempts with the state’s top court to ban two pro-Palestinian rallies fell through.

Next Monday marks the one-year anniversary of Hamas’s attacks on Israel and the start of the conflict in Gaza - and police hoped to stop any rally taking place on that date.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says police have to compromise for a pro-Palestinian vigil instead, following the supreme court's ruling.
