Overview

• Pro-Palestinian demonstrators breached station gates and entered the tracks at Den Haag Centraal shortly after 19:00, forcing an immediate halt to rail traffic.
• NS suspended service between The Hague Central and Hollands Spoor and Mariahoeve, disrupting connections toward Leiden, Rotterdam and Utrecht.
• Riot police cleared platforms and tracks, directed remaining groups toward the Koekamp and transported detainees by bus before trains began departing again around 22:30.
• NS chief Wouter Koolmees labeled the action unacceptable and ProRail CEO John Voppen emphasized safety risks, with both organizations filing criminal complaints.
• Photos showed a train defaced with “Free Palestine” slogans as the protest moved from the Foreign Affairs ministry, and cabinet ministers condemned the blockade and warned of legal consequences.
