During President Herzog’s three-day visit, a designated exclusion zone will encompass areas from the Central Business District and Pyrmont to the eastern suburbs, granting police the authority to request individuals to move along for any reason.

Approximately 3,500 officers are set to be deployed throughout the city to ensure security during this period.

Law enforcement officials will also have the power to stop and search individuals or vehicles without needing a warrant.

Those who fail to comply with police directions may face fines of up to $5,500 or be barred from entering the event area.

It is anticipated that a substantial motorcade will be used to transport the Israeli president around the city.

The planned route for Monday’s pro-Palestine march falls within the established exclusion zone.

The Palestine Action Group has said that up to 5000 people will march from Town Hall to State Parliament to oppose the visit Herzog, however, police have said the rally should be confined to Hyde Park.

NSW Premier Chris Minns on Saturday urged protesters to remain “calm and respectful”.

He also asked residents to avoid the CBD if they can and confirmed there would be a “massive” police presence.

“We can disagree without resorting to clashes or violence on Sydney streets,” Minns said.

“In fact, that would be devastating for everybody, regardless of your cause.”

Herzog will visit Australia at the invitation of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the wake of the Bondi terrorist attack.

He will arrive in Sydney on Sunday morning before travelling to Canberra and Melbourne.

The president told the Sydney Morning Herald earlier this week he hoped his visit would be one of “goodwill”.

The purpose of the visit is to “express our bond, our connection, our love, our affection, our condolences”, he said.
