Demonstrators protest against Israel's President Isaac Herzog attending the opening of the new National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, March 10, 2024

THOUSANDS of pro-Palestinian protesters in the Netherlands on Sunday protested at the presence of the Israeli president at the opening of the country’s new National Holocaust Museum.

This comes as Israel’s killing spree against the Palestinians in Gaza is set to top 31,000.

President Isaac Herzog was in Amsterdam to open the new museum that tells the story of some of the 102,000 Jews who were deported from the Netherlands and murdered in Nazi camps, as well as the history of their persecution under German occupation during World War II, before the deportations began.
