Several tens of thousands of people gathered in The Hague on Sunday against the Dutch government's policy towards Israel and the war in Gaza, the largest demonstration in the Netherlands in 20 years, according to the organizers.
The protesters wore red clothing to symbolically draw a red line, urging the government to take action against Israel, which they accuse of committing genocide in Gaza. The organizers estimate that more than 100,000 people participated, claiming it was the largest demonstration in the Netherlands in the last two decades. The police did not provide a count of participants.
