On May 6, 2024, pro-Palestinian protests broke out at the University of Amsterdam which quickly spread to other universities in the Randstad and the rest of the Netherlands. Although protests had been taking place as early as October 2023, which marks the start of the Israel–Hamas war, the protests intensified in May in the light of the Rafah offensive on May 6 and recent similar protests in the United States and elsewhere.

An early protest occurred at Radboud University Nijmegen on 18 October, by students demanding the university cuts all ties with Israeli institutes.[35] A teach-in was held at Leiden University on 9 November 2023.[36] Student protestors demanding the university cut all ties with Israeli organisations protested at Delft University of Technology on 29 November 2023.[37] Other demonstrations followed at Utrecht University in December 2023 and January 2024.[38] Protests were also held at the campuses of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam,[39] Maastricht University,[40] Erasmus University Rotterdam,[41] Tilburg University,[42] and the University of Groningen.[43] 17 arrests were made during four days of protests at the Amsterdam University College.[44] It was noted, however, that most protests at university campuses in the Netherlands were peaceful and without police intervention.[41]

On May 6, hundreds of students started a solidarity encampment at the University of Amsterdam (UvA).[45] The next day, police cleared the encampment, arresting 169 people.[46][47] Over a thousand people protested at a pro-Palestine demonstration in Amsterdam in response.[48] On May 8, new protests emerged in Amsterdam, starting in and around university buildings and later moving to the Rokin. 36 people were arrested by the end of the night.[49][50] The following day, another protest was organised which again started at the Roeterseiland university campus of University of Amsterdam. Thousands of protestors went on to march through the city.[51] Three protestors were arrested by the police.[52] The UvA decided to close various campus buildings for the rest of the week.[53]
On May 13, after a national walk-out, students occupied campus buildings at the University of Amsterdam. Police in riot gear subsequently ended the protests in Amsterdam after "chasing away hundreds" of people,[54][55] and the university closed for two days after the renewed occupations on campus.[56] The Amsterdam protest continued at Oosterpark.[57] The UvA filed complaints against several protesters.[58] One protester was arrested; a criminal investigation was ongoing to determine if more arrests would follow.[59]
Radboud University Nijmegen

Protests during this period started taking place at the Radboud University Nijmegen on 12 May. Students and staff members set up a tent encampment on May 13 and temporarily occupied a building on May 16.[60][61] The tent encampment was still standing by May 19.[62]
Protests at other universities
On May 7, protests took place at Utrecht University and the Delft University of Technology on May 7.[63] An encampment was attempted at the academic library of Utrecht, where 50 people were arrested in the night between May 7 and May 8.[12][64]
On May 8, a new encampment at Utrecht University was set up, which was cleared during the early morning of 9 May,[65] but without any arrests being made.[66] The university decided to close its buildings until Monday May 13.[67] The next day, a smaller protest was also held around university buildings of Utrecht University.[68]
On May 13, approximately one thousand students and staff took part in a national walk-out.[69] University buildings at the universities of Amsterdam and Groningen were also occupied.[69] Protests, some of which taking place next to tent encampments, also took place at the campuses of Radboud University Nijmegen, Maastricht University, Eindhoven University of Technology, Delft University of Technology, Utrecht University, Leiden University (both in Leiden and The Hague[70]), Erasmus University Rotterdam and Wageningen University & Research, as well as other campuses.[71][72][73] An area at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of Maastricht University was renamed "Rafah Garden".[74]
On May 14, a protest was held at the University of Humanistic Studies.[75] While there were no other renewed student protests on university campuses, several encampements from the day before were still standing, such as in Groningen, Maastricht and at Radboud University.[76][77]
On May 15 a Utrecht University building was occupied by pro-Palestine protesters. The university decided to close various other buildings as precaution.[78] Protesters were removed from the building in the early night by the police.[79] Also on May 15, six student activists from Maastricht University announced to be going into hunger strike until their demands were met.[80] Students had been protesting at the university campus for three days by then.[81]
As protests were announced for May 16, the Erasmus University Rotterdam decided earlier that week to close its buildings that day.[82] The protest was moved to Rotterdam Centraal station.[83] At the Campus The Hague of Leiden University, students occupied a floor. The occupation lasted a few hours.[84] A few hundred students at Tilburg University held a peaceful protest march across campus.[85]
On May 17, students protested at the Academiegebouw of Leiden University and set up a tent encampement.[86] Two buildings were closed as a precaution.[87] Students and staff members of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam held a protest at their university campus square.[88] A sit-in was held at Wageningen University & Research[89] and another protest was held at the University of Humanistic Studies.[75]
The tent encampments on the campuses of the universities of Groningen, Wageningen, Maastricht and at Radboud University were still standing by May 19.[62][7][90]
Response
Political response
The protests were condemned by Prime Minister Mark Rutte,[91] as well as by various other high-ranking Dutch politicians.[92] Mariëlle Paul, the Dutch Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, suggested several times that it is "very questionable" whether the "rioters are actually students".[93]
An "emergency debate" was called on 10 May by the Government of Amsterdam in response to the police intervention earlier during the first protest on 6 May. Despite criticism, mayor Femke Halsema stood by her decision to let police intervene during the demonstration.[94] Around 250 protestors demonstrated during the meeting outside the Stopera, where the meeting was held, dubbing this the "fifth day of student protests".[95]
On 11 May, the "sixth day of protests",[96] a pro-Palestine protest in Amsterdam attracted over 10,000 people. Many demonstrators denounced the police action earlier that week. Some protesters also called for Halsema to resign.[97]
Timeline of university responses
On May 6, the first day of protests, the University of Amsterdam provided a list of Israeli organisations they work with, which was one of the demands of the encampment protestors. They refused to partake in a boycott of those organisations, which was the second demand.[98][99] Later that week, on May 10, the Central Student Council of the University of Amsterdam called for the UvA board to resign after the board allowed for police to intervene during the first protest.[95] Despite negotiations having taken place the week before, during the second week of protests the UvA board made it known no longer to be talking to activists at all.[100] Other universities were stilling willing to negotiate with protesters.[101]
Erasmus University Rotterdam followed on May 8 by releasing a similar list as the University of Amsterdam did two days prior, despite no university protests having taken place in Rotterdam by then. The university would be evaluating the existing ties with Israeli organisations.[102]
On 10 May, the University of Groningen published a statement giving insight on its relations with Israeli organisations, though it did not name any specific institutions.[103]
On 11 May, the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague announced their plans to terminate the student exchange programme with the Israeli Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. This was done in response to heavy student criticism. By doing so, the KABK was the first Dutch educational institution to cancel an agreement with an Israeli organisation.[97]
On May 13, as a response to an open letter, the Eindhoven University of Technology also showed more transparency by talking about the Israeli organisations they are working with. At that moment the only "institutional partnership" between the university and an Israeli organisation was Technion – Israel Institute of Technology through the EuroTech Universities Alliance. However, the university still refused to take position in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.[104]
On May 14, the Design Academy Eindhoven announced it would 'freeze' its ties with two design schools in Israel.[105] The Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences announced on the same day that it would break it's ties with the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design.[106]
On May 15, Utrecht University (UU) released an adjusted statement of the original statement from October 23, 2023 by the executive board and the deans, partly in response to the heavy student protests. Although the UU did not decide to break ties with Israeli organisations as a whole, the university announced to be releasing a list of collaborations with Israeli organisations soon and to "critically evaluate" these ties. The UU also promised to freeze ties with individual organisations, if it become clear that these would "contribute to (the continuation of) the cycle of violence". Additionally, the UU said to be "deeply concerned about the destruction of the academic infrastructure in Gaza".[107] A list was published two days later.[108]
Also on May 15, a statement by Rianne Letschert from Maastricht University on behalf of the executive board was published, in which the board explicity defends the right to protest of students and staff members.[109]
On May 17, Leiden University published a statement giving insight in its collaborations with Israeli organisations. Additionally, exchange programmes with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv University were frozen until further evaluation.[110] In an open letter the same day, the University of Humanistic Studies published a list of collaborations with Israeli organisations.[75] The Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam pointed in an open letter to the CORDIS website for an overview of their collaborations with Israeli institutions, and also to be developing a framework for international collaborations for new and existing collaborations, as the KU Leuven and other universities had done before.[111]
Journalists
The Dutch Association of Journalists (Nederlandse Vereniging van Journalisten ; NVJ) has at multiple times expressed concerns regarding the press freedom and safety at the demonstrations. Journalists were repeatedly denied entry at various demonstrations and were asked to leave. According to the protesters, this is to protect the identities and safety of those protesting.[112][113]
Between May 6 and 15, twenty-one reports were filed at PersVeilig ("PressSafe"). PersVeilig is an organisation dedicated to the safety of journalists in the Netherlands, initiated by the NVJ and the Public Prosecution Service, among others. Of the reports, nineteen were made in allegation to protesters and two were regarding behaviour by the police. No charges were filed, however, because most acts were not deemed illegal despite causing hindrance.[114]
General public
Opinions in the general population were more diverse. An opinion panel research by EenVandaag published on 10 May, including 16,036 people (of which 560 students), showed that a majority of the panel members (83%) disagreed with the methods protestors used, and 75% agreed with the police intervention that followed. A smaller majority (62%) also disagreed with the protestors' demands. However, students were much more likely to agree with the protestors' goals and demands (63%), and 43% of student panel members agreed with the way the demonstrations were held.[115]
Impact on demonstration policies
Jouke de Vries, interim chairman of the Universiteiten van Nederland, said in an interview during an episode with Buitenhof that the organisation was currently working on a new "demonstration protocol".[116] Examples of measures being discussed included overnight stays not being allowed in university buildings and protesters with whom negotiations are taking place having to identify themselves. This was supported by Robbert Dijkgraaf, the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and tenured professor at the UvA.[117] The Dutch Student Union was critical, and asked to be part of the discussions.[118] The Universiteiten van Nederland later released a joint protocol.[119]
In an interview with Het Parool, Dijkgraaf said in regards to closing university buildings that this is an "ultimate resource that we should not accept", and added that "it cannot be justified if an educational institution can no longer provide education". The newspaper confirmed that "emergency scenarios" were made and ready to allow education at universities to continue in case of protests "getting out of hand" again, and that universities, the current cabinet and the Dutch police were making plans to ensure that education at 'risk universities' could continue, online or in well-secured buildings.[120]

Notes
- ^ Although the muncipal parties of GroenLinks, PvdA and D66 in Amsterdam have asked for clarification about the number of injured protesters and bystanders and despite various media reports and injuries, it is unknown how many more protesters may have been injured.[2] The number of injuries includes at least 1 protester[3] and 1 police officer[4] during the night between May 6 and 7, and 2 protesters and 5 officers on May 8.[5][6] All of these injuries took place during the protests at the University of Amsterdam.
Additionally, by May 20, the health of one of the hunger strikers at Maastricht University had declined significantly.[7] - ^ The number of arrests in Amsterdam includes 169 in the night between 6 to 7 May,[8] 36 on 8 May,[5] 3 on 9 May,[9] 1 on 13 May[10] and 1 on 17 May.[11] Additionally, 50 arrests were made in Utrecht on 7 May.[12]
- ^ This estimate number only includes damage to property of the University of Amsterdam during the first week of protests. The number does not include damage caused to municipal property and to neighboring companies and individuals.[13] Damage at Utrecht University was said to be "limited" by the university.[14]
- ^ The Arabic term intifada means roughly "uprising" and is often used in the context of Palestinian uprisings in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.[23][24][25]
