Tens of thousands rally in Dutch Gaza protest
THE HAGUE: Tens of thousands of people dressed in red marched through the streets of The Hague today to demand more action from the Dutch government against what they termed a "genocide" in Gaza. Rights groups such as Amnesty International and Oxfam organised the demonstration through the city to the International Court of Justice, creating a so-called "red line." Many waving Palestinian flags and some chanting "Stop the Genocide", the demonstrators turned a central park in the city into a sea of red on a sunny afternoon. Protesters brandished banners reading "Don't look away, do something", "Stop Dutch complicity", and "Be silent when kids sleep, not when they die." Organisers urged the Dutch government – which collapsed on June 3 after a far-right party pulled out of a fragile coalition – to do more to rein in Israel. "People in Gaza cannot wait and the Netherlands has a duty to do everything it can to stop the genocide," they said in their call to action. Dodo Van Der Sluis, a 67-year-old pensioner, told AFP: "It has to stop. Enough is enough. I can't take it anymore." "I'm here because I think it's maybe the only thing you can do now as a Dutch citizen, but it's something you have to do," she added. A previous protest in The Hague on May 18 drew more than 100,000 people, according to organisers, who described it as the country's largest demo in 20 years. Police did not give an estimate for that demonstration. The Gaza war was sparked by the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Palestinian fighter group Hamas. That assault resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people on the Israeli side, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of official figures. The fighters also took 251 hostages, of whom 54 are still thought to be held in Gaza, including 32 the Israeli military has said are dead. The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza says Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed at least 55,207 people, the majority of them civilians. The United Nations considers the figures reliable. The International Court of Justice is currently weighing a case brought by South Africa against Israel, arguing its actions in Gaza breach the 1948 UN Genocide Convention.

Malaysians urged to remain vigilant against foreign proxies
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians must remain vigilant against individuals acting as proxies for foreign powers, warns Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Delivering a strongly worded speech at the National Training Week 2025 summit here yesterday, Anwar emphasised Malaysia's unwavering commitment to sovereignty and justice, urging the public to reject subversive elements. 'Let there be no instigators. Do not allow provocateurs or foreign agents to undermine what we have built. 'There are those who, out of envy or on behalf of foreign powers, aim to destabilise our country and erode our values,' he said. Anwar referred to a 2022 incident in which a Malaysian couple allegedly assisted operatives from the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad in entering the country via Thailand. 'I commend our police force for successfully arresting and charging those involved,' he said. Anwar also stressed that a true 'Negara Madani' must uphold both national sovereignty and moral clarity, particularly on global issues such as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. 'Just yesterday (Friday), Israel launched another brutal assault. We strongly condemn such attacks. 'How is it that one country is permitted to commit such acts of violence repeatedly and with impunity? 'What's more troubling is when people in Malaysia, an independent nation, are afraid to speak out,' he said. He urged Malaysian youth to be discerning and not easily swayed by what they see online. 'Do not be naive. Do not be deceived by what you see on social media,' he said. Anwar's remarks came amid Israeli airstrikes on Iran, which he condemned as part of a long-standing pattern of aggression. Reaffirming Malaysia's position, he said the country's principled stance on Gaza would not be compromised, regardless of external pressure. 'This is what it means to be a Negara Madani. We do not care whether certain countries approve or not,' he said.
