Pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered on Dam Square in Amsterdam this evening, marking the third anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. Approximately 150 participants waved flags and held banners with messages characterizing the initial assault as an act of resistance, while also reading aloud the names of Palestinian victims. The event occurred amidst a broader series of protests held across the Netherlands, including gatherings in Utrecht, Rotterdam, and Arnhem.
While demonstrators initially planned to march toward the Central Station for a sit-in, organizers altered their route to proceed toward the Stopera. At this location, participants intend to conduct a sit-in to make a public statement regarding the ongoing conflict. The protest serves as part of a nationwide mobilization occurring exactly three years after the major attack on Israel that triggered the current regional crisis, which has resulted in significant casualties in Gaza.
