Inauguration of the Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam, clashes and 13 arrests at Waterlooplein
The inauguration of the Holocaust Museum took place in a locked Amsterdam, with several demonstrations and protests due to the presence of the president of Israel, Herzog. According to AT5, the whistles and screams were loud enough to be heard even inside the museum.

Authorities present, including King Willem Alexander. The mayor Halsema was next to the gate of the courtyard of the Portuguese Synagogue to welcome the guests while on the street, armored and with a massive presence of anti-riot squads, slogans for a free Palestine could be heard. Further on, on Waterlooplein, demonstrators protest against the presence of one of yesterday's most important guests: Yitzhak Herzog. The president of Israel stopped by at the opening of the Holocaust Museum and took the opportunity to plead his country's case in the war against Hamas.

Many protesters find Herzog's presence yesterday inconceivable. The presence of protesters peaked at 1,500 and there were tensions and brief clashes. In total, police arrested 13 protesters.
