• A pro-Palestinian demonstration organized by BDS Tokyo is scheduled to take place in front of the United Nations University in Tokyo between 17:30-18:30 (local time) on May 14. 

• A Nakba Day demonstration, organized by Kansai Gaza Emergency Action, is planned in front of JR Osaka Station Southeast Bus Terminal in Osaka between 18:30-19:30 on May 15. 

The anticipated turnout at the slated demonstrations is likely to range between the low-to-mid dozens, considering the limited resonance and precedented participation in similar previous gatherings. The deployment of police personnel and setting up of barricades are likely as part of the standard security protocols to minimize traffic disruptions and monitor crowds. The protests are expected to transpire peacefully, given precedent. Localized disruptions to travel are anticipated in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations due to the expected turnout and related security measures during the protest hours on May 14-15. 

Those operating or residing in Osaka and Tokyo on May 14-15 are advised to allot for disruptions in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations due to the slated protests.
