2. VARIOUS OF DEMONSTRATORS BANGING SPOONS AND PLATES/ CHANTING SLOGANS AND CARRYING PALESTINIAN FLAGS AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS - JULY 30: Hundreds of people marched through the streets of Amsterdam, Netherlands on Wednesday, July 30, to protest the ongoing starvation crisis in Gaza.

Starting at Spui Square and ending at City Hall, demonstrators banged spoons and plates to amplify their call for international intervention. Protesters chanted slogans and waved Palestinian flags to denounce Israel’s alleged use of hunger as a weapon.

The protest took place as the Dutch government barred two Israeli ministers from entering the country and recalled Parliament from its summer recess to urgently address the crisis in Gaza.

The Israeli army, rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, has pursued a brutal offensive on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, killing more than 60,100 Palestinians. The relentless bombardment has devastated the enclave and led to food shortages.

On Monday, Israeli rights groups B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, citing the systematic destruction of Palestinian society and the deliberate dismantling of the territory’s healthcare system.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
