Protesters marched through Amsterdam on Sunday in a ‘Red Line’ demonstration urging the Dutch government to take tougher action against Israel over Gaza, including trade restrictions and a halt to arms sales. Crowd figures differ: Al Jazeera reports, citing the Dutch branch of Amnesty International, one of the organisers, that more than 200,000 people took part, while Agence France-Presse reports that organisers said about 20,000 attended. The Washington Times describes tens of thousands. AFP also reports that the Netherlands has not recognised a Palestinian state and that an acute humanitarian crisis persists in Gaza despite a ceasefire that took effect in October last year.
