Hundreds of protesters demand arrest of Netanyahu and Galant in the Netherlands
Hundreds of demonstrators in the Dutch capital Amsterdam on Saturday demanded the immediate implementation of the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister, Yoav Galant.
Demonstrators gathered in Dam Square to express their anger at Israel's continued genocide in Gaza, expressing their discontent with Western countries, primarily the Netherlands, the United States, Britain and Germany, for their support of Israel despite its violations in Gaza.
The demonstrators set off from Dam Square towards the city's central train station in a march that lasted about two hours.
During the march, the demonstrators chanted slogans such as "Free Palestine," "Free Lebanon," and "Stop the genocide."
In a speech at the demonstration, the head of the European Youth League, Murat Gok, demanded that the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court against Netanyahu and Galant be entered into immediately.
Another spokesman said that the health system in Gaza had completely collapsed, and that the wounded were now waiting to die from pain without treatment.
On Thursday, the International Criminal Court issued two international arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Galant, on charges of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity during the ongoing genocide committed by Israel against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.
With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 148,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and the elderly, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
Israel continues its massacres, ignoring the UN Security Council resolution to end them immediately, and the International Court of Justice’s orders to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.
