Police in Singapore warn of a potential march this weekend that could be connected to the Israel-Hamas conflict.

According to the Singapore police, there are preparations for the public to assemble for a march over the weekend that would be staged in connection with the Israel-Hamas conflict.

They cautioned that such gatherings are prohibited without a police permit in a statement dated October 11.

It is illegal to plan or take part in a public gathering or march without a police permit under the Public Order Act.

The police stated that they would not issue any permits for gatherings that support foreign or foreign political causes or that would incite strong feelings and result in public order problems.

The police reaffirmed that there are security and safety risks associated with planned gatherings and processions related to the dispute.

"On both sides of the Israel-Hamas conflict, there have been numerous instances abroad where demonstrators have taken to the streets," they stated.

They went on to say that these events abroad have caused public unrest, serious disturbances to nearby communities, and even injuries to participants and onlookers.

Such actions could exacerbate tensions between the communities and jeopardize Singapore's religious harmony and peace.

"We must not take for granted the peace and harmony that we enjoy in Singapore, nor allow external events to negatively impact it," police stated.

A year after Hamas and other Palestinian resistance groups' forces breached the border encircling the Gaza Strip for an operation in Israel on October 7, 2023, a war broke out with no end in sight.
