Over 200,000 join Amsterdam march against Gaza genocide

More than 200,000 people joined a massive march in Amsterdam on Monday (November 9), demanding stronger Dutch government action against Israel over its war in Gaza, according to organisers.

The demonstration, known as the ‘Red Line’ march, brought thousands of protesters dressed in red onto the streets of the Dutch capital. They called for stricter trade restrictions on Israel, an end to arms sales and greater political and diplomatic pressure to stop the violence against Palestinians.

Amnesty International Netherlands, one of the organisers, estimated that more than 200,000 people participated in the march, which was supported by nearly 200 organisations and businesses.

The protesters also urged the Dutch government to stop facilitating economic and military ties with Israel and take stronger measures over the occupation of Palestinian territories.
