The demonstrations were held in the capital after two massive rallies took place in The Hague earlier this year. 

Organizers said the protests demand the Dutch government to take action in stopping “the genocide and end the occupation of Palestine.” 

Previous "Red Line" protests saw massive turnouts, with organizers reporting over 100,000 participants in May and up to 150,000 in June, making them among the largest demonstrations in the Netherlands in decades.
