Amsterdam protest urges Dutch action on arms shipments to Israel.
Arab News reported that tens of thousands of people dressed in red took to Amsterdam’s streets on Sunday in support of Palestinians in Gaza and to denounce ongoing violence. The demonstration called on the Dutch government to act, including by stopping weapons shipments to Israel. Organizers estimated attendance at about 200,000, while Arab News described the turnout as tens of thousands. In a separate diplomatic context, Saudi Arabia and other foreign ministers condemned continuing Israeli violations in Gaza in a joint statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency, calling for practical international action, accountability and a lasting ceasefire, and reaffirming support for a political path to a Palestinian state. The agency also reported Saudi Arabia’s participation in a statement welcoming UK restrictions on goods from illegal Israeli settlements and related services.
