US EditionHundreds of thousands protest in Amsterdam against Gaza war
Organizers said 250,000 people marched to demand a Dutch government ceasefire push and trade bans on Israeli settlement goods, marking the third major protest this year.
- On Sunday in Amsterdam, a mass demonstration drew around 250,000 protesters, an estimate local police described as "not crazy".
- Organisers said the Dutch government was not doing enough and demanded action just over three weeks before the October 29 election, in the third 'red line' protest this year.
- Protesters of all ages marched a 6-kilometre route, packed Museumplein, and waited more than two hours to move along roads by the Vondelpark.
- Since the May rallies, the Dutch government has imposed travel bans on two far-right Israeli cabinet ministers and backed import restrictions on settlement-produced goods, while the Supreme Court ordered Foreign Minister David van Weel to decide on fighter jet exports within six weeks.
- PAX Netherlands director Rolien Sasse said, `We hope there will be a real ceasefire very, very soon and people will be protected`, while Israel rejects genocide claims and several Jewish groups joined the protest.
