Thousands of Christians and Jews gathered outside Amsterdam's city hall to celebrate Israel after the originally planned rally was banned due to security concerns. Pro-Israel protesters expressed frustration with Mayor Femke Halsema's decision, accusing her of failing to protect Jews in the city. The gathering was organized by Christians For Israel and attended by various Protestant and Jewish organizations. The crowd displayed Israeli flags and signs saying 'Never again,' and speakers emphasized the importance of fighting antisemitism and supporting the Jewish community in the Netherlands.
