The Anne Frank statue in Amsterdam was vandalized with 'Gaza' graffiti, drawing condemnation from Dutch politicians and calls for witnesses to report the incident.
The statue of Jewish Holocaust victim Anne Frank was vandalized with red paint reading 'Gaza' on Tuesday, Dutch politicians said.
Amsterdam councilor Stijn Nijssen said on X - formerly Twitter - that it was shameful to draw attention to the Palestinian cause by defacing the Holocaust memorial in the Rivierenbuurt neighborhood park.
Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema called on potential witnesses to report the incident to the police and said there was no excuse for such an action.
