Ongoing Protest Outside US Consulate in Amsterdam; Avoid Vicinity of Area

Severity: 2 (Low)

05/19/2018 (Netherlands) - Imagery from social media accounts indicates that there is an ongoing protest outside of the US Consulate in Amsterdam on Saturday, 19 May. Dozens have gathered in front of the building, located in the Museumkwartier area, and are holding Palestinian flags and placards with pro-Palestinian slogans. The protest is likely in response to the US decision to move its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem and the resulting unrest on the Israel-Gaza border.
Members in Amsterdam are advised to stay clear of the US Consulate and should minimise time spent near demonstrations and political gatherings due to the risk of exposure to potential crowd disturbances, incidental violence, and police crowd dispersal activities. Monitor local media sources for further protests on the issue and associated disruption, and immediately heed any directives issued by authorities.
