Thousands Protest in Amsterdam Demanding Action Against Israel's Treatment of Palestinians

Thousands of people, including former politicians Job Cohen and Jozias van Aartsen, gathered in Amsterdam for the fourth Red Line demonstration, calling on the Dutch cabinet to exert maximum political, economic, and diplomatic pressure on Israel to end the illegal occupation of Palestine. The protesters demanded an extended arms embargo, stopping all direct and indirect arms trade and military cooperation with Israel, and recognition that the Israeli government is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians. They also called for a complete trade ban on goods from illegal Israeli settlements. The Jetter cabinet, however, did not announce any additional measures, stating that they are already working with European partners and other international allies to prevent escalation in the region.
