Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s presence at the inauguration of a Holocaust museum in Amsterdam sparked demonstrations due to Israel’s military activities in Gaza. Protesters calling for a ceasefire gathered near the museum, holding signs like “Jews against genocide” and “Stop Gaza Holocaust.” Some protesters waved Israeli flags. The museum explained that Herzog was invited before the recent Hamas attack that triggered Israel’s ground operation in Gaza. They acknowledged the controversy but noted that Herzog symbolized the homeland of Dutch Holocaust survivors who relocated to Israel.
