Hundreds of thousands of people flooded the streets of Amsterdam on Sunday, demanding stronger action from the Dutch government against Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza. Organizers estimated that around 250,000 protesters joined the six-kilometer march, a number confirmed by local police. Most participants wore red to symbolize a collective “red line” against Israel’s siege of Gaza.
The demonstration, organized by PAX Netherlands, echoed a massive rally held in The Hague earlier this year and was planned weeks before U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of his proposed plan to end the war. Despite Trump’s intervention, organizers said their determination remained unchanged, emphasizing calls for peace and justice in Gaza.
Waving Palestinian flags and chanting “Free, free Palestine,” protesters marched through the Dutch capital under heavy rain. Many carried signs condemning Israeli military actions and expressing solidarity with Gaza’s civilians. “We are here to condemn everything that is happening in Gaza,” said Emilia Rivero, 27, who traveled from Utrecht. “This is the least we can do after seeing the horrors in Gaza.”
PAX Netherlands Director Rolien Sasse told Reuters that the group demanded the Dutch government put pressure on Israel to enforce a ceasefire and protect civilians. “We hope there will be a real ceasefire soon, that people can receive aid and be safe,” Sasse said.
Since May, the Dutch government’s stance on Israel has shifted significantly. It imposed travel bans on two far-right Israeli ministers accused of inciting violence, announced plans to ban imports from Jewish settlements in occupied territories, and supported the EU’s move to suspend trade benefits with Israel.
However, populist leader Geert Wilders, whose party holds the most seats in parliament, continues to express unwavering support for Israel.
The protest highlighted the growing divide in Dutch politics over the Gaza conflict, just weeks before the national elections on October 29.
