The Australian Voces Caelestium orchestra in Sydney held a musical performance featuring over 200 musicians from both the orchestra and choir to raise funds for the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Participants stated that the funds raised will be directed toward humanitarian aid for Gaza's citizens. The concert was organized by Korean-Australian conductor Taesoo Kim, who has been planning the event since last November, and co-directed by Serbian-Australian composer and pianist Pavle Kajic.

Among the attendees were Korean and Palestinian activists, as well as a diverse group of supporters from Sydney.

This concert aimed to support the Palestine Children's Relief Fund and its efforts to deliver vital aid to children affected by the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank.

The Palestinian community in Australia expressed that the concert successfully raised awareness about the suffering of their people and generated funds for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund.

Australia backs UK decision to curb arms sales to 'Israel' 

Australia is working with the United Kingdom and other allies to "pressure" the Israeli occupation to ease the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and to prevent the erosion of long-standing rules that safeguard relief workers, The Guardian reported earlier this month.

The Australian government has officially supported the UK's decision to limit arms supplies to "Israel", contradicting the US', which is said to have discreetly urged Britain against the action.

Penny Wong, Australia's foreign affairs minister, told Guardian Australia, "Australia is working with partners, including the UK, to put pressure on a real change in the situation in Gaza."

The current statements are another example of the Australian government's hardening language against the Israeli assault on Gaza, where about 41,467 Palestinians have been murdered over the last 11 months and over 95,921 have been injured.

Labor is facing increased political pressure from the Greens and independent candidates in traditionally safe seats, as well as from its own rank-and-file members, to adopt a tougher stance against "Israel's" actions.

While the Labor cabinet has advocated for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire since December, it has rejected efforts to label Israeli actions as genocide and impose penalties on Israeli government officials.

Earlier this month, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated that the UK will "immediately suspend 30 out of 350 arms export licenses to Israel."
