Approximately 100,000 people gathered in The Hague, the administrative capital of the Netherlands, to protest the Dutch government's pro-Israel stance. Protest Highlights The demonstration, organized under the slogan "Draw the Red Line for Gaza", took place at Malieveld Square.
Protesters, dressed in red to symbolize the "red line," demanded that the Dutch government adopt a tougher stance against Israel, halt military and political support, and impose sanctions.
The event was organized by over 80 international and local NGOs, including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and numerous Palestinian support groups, women's organizations, and humanitarian aid associations.
Participation and Demands While official records estimated the crowd at 70,000, the organizing NGO Oxfam Novib reported the number as 100,000.
Protesters criticized the Dutch government for its silence regarding Israel's actions in Gaza, where, according to speakers, hundreds have died of starvation since March. Demonstrators accused the Schoof government of being indifferent to human rights violations, chanting slogans like:
"Schoof government is deaf!"
"Shame on the government, your hands are bloody!"
"Netherlands pays, Israel bombs!"
"Free Palestine!"
"No peace on occupied lands!"
"Stop the genocide!"
"Stop killing children!"
The organization condemned the government's reluctance to draw a red line and address the ongoing impunity. This protest marks one of the largest pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the Netherlands in recent years.

Zehntausende protestieren in Den Haag gegen Israels Krieg in Gaza
In den Niederlanden haben Zehntausende Menschen gegen Israels Vorgehen im Gaza-Krieg demonstriert. Die Demonstranten forderten von der niederländischen Regierung, Israel mit konkreten Konsequenzen zu drohen.
Organisiert wurde die Demonstration von Menschenrechtsorganisationen wie Amnesty International und propalästinensischen Gruppen. Niederländische Medien berichteten von bis zu 70.000 Teilnehmern. Die Organisatoren sprachen von 100.000 Demonstranten und damit der größten Kundgebung seit 20 Jahren.
Zuvor hatten die Niederlande bereits von der EU einen härteren Kurs gegenüber Israel gefordert. Der niederländische Außenminister Veldkamp sagte, Israel verletze mit der Blockade von humanitärer Hilfe für die Menschen im Gazastreifen demokratische Prinzipien und Menschenrechte.
