\u201cWhat is happening there is inhumane,\u201d Mike van Dongen said as he walked in the huge throng of people.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as I\u2019m concerned, [the Dutch authorities] are doing nothing,\u201d he said. \u201cThey don\u2019t dare take any serious steps.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the protesters marched along a normally busy Amsterdam street that was closed to traffic on Sunday, a man stood at a bus stop with a loudspeaker shouting, \u201cFree, free Palestine!\u201d Many of the marchers echoed his cry as they passed.<\/p>\n

At least 74,000 dead in Gaza<\/h2>\n

Israel\u2019s genocidal war has killed at least 74,000 Palestinians, including 21,000 children, since October 2023.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s protest was similar to one in early October<\/a> last year. That followed \u2018Red Line\u2019 demonstrations last June<\/a> when protesters marched through the streets of The Hague.<\/p>\n

A \u201cceasefire<\/a>\u201d took effect in Gaza on October 10 last year, but Israeli attacks and killings have continued on an almost-daily basis since.<\/p>\n

The war in Gaza has strained relations between the Netherlands and Israel. The Dutch foreign minister resigned last year after failing to secure new sanctions against Israel.<\/p>\n

Since then, a new minority coalition government took power in February and introduced an import ban on products from Israeli settlements, which the Dutch government and most of the international community consider illegal \u2013 the ban provoked a diplomatic spat with Israel.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Rob Jetten, who took part in a march last year but was not present on Sunday, defended his government\u2019s actions at his weekly news conference on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery single day and every single week, we do what we can to alleviate the terrible situation there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that his administration is \u201cexerting greater political and diplomatic pressure\u201d on Israel to abide by its agreements on Gaza.<\/p>\n
