Such as “Only European Action,” with which the cabinet, Accordination to Him, Ducks its responsibility to deal more strictly with Israel. Or “reception in the region,” so you don’t have to bring sick children from gaza here. “I want to fill that,” Timmermans says about that so-called code language.

‘Are we doing enough? I wonder that ‘ Timmermans does not understand that sheaf not follow the un commission and speaks of a genocide in Gaza. He pointss out to the prime minister that, accordance to the genocide treaty, The Netherlands Must Act Much Earlier Before a Court Has Ruled Whether Or Not There Is Genocide. “If there is a risk of genocide, you must act,” The GL-PvdA Leader Tells shoved.
Van Hijum (NSC) also points to the genocide treaty. “The Closer your ties with a country, The Heavier Your Responsibility Becomes. Your Influence Becomes Heavier. Are we doing Enough? I Wonder that,” Says van Hijum.
There are risks of genocide, pushed acknowledges. “We never denied that.” The Cabinet is constantly consulting which steps to take. This is also done in Consultation with Other Eu Countries, Says shoved.
SHOOF: Cabinet has no influence on Netanyahu’s course recent, Schoof had telephone contact with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. In it, he called for a ceasefire and for the Israeli Army to Allow Emergency Aid for the Gazans.
But shove his own acknowledges that his call was actual pointless. “I have yet to see if we can bring that government to a different point of view.” Neverbertheless, The Netherlands Continues to Commit. Via The European Route, Where The Member States are far from Aligned, and via the United Nations. “We are trying to change netanyahu’s course.”
For Dassen of Volt, this is proof that netanyahu does not care about the words of the Dutch cabinet. Therefore, there must be Tougher, National Measures. “History Will Judge Very Harshly about the Lack of Action by This Cabinet,” Says Dassen.
Cabinet does not want to help children from gaza in the Netherlands: “Shame on you!” It is about the medical evacuation of sick or injury from Gaza. “That Touches Everyone here,” Says “we want to do something about the suffering.” There is a Shortage of Money and Equipment in The Gaza Region to Help These Children. That is why the cabinet is releasing 25 million euros. “That is fast and effective,” Says shoved. Accordance to him, the Netherlands can contribute to the aid for the children in the best way this way.
Opposition Parties Are Calling on the Cabinet to Help Children in The Netherlands, because Aid Organizations Say There Are Not Enough Resources in the Region. Many Other European Countries are already doing that. “I Find it ShameFul,” Says Timmermans (GL-PvdA). “There will come a day when we all look back and say: what on earth did we let it happen!”
D66 Leader Jetten Lists Some Poignant Examples of How Badly Children Have Been Mutilated by the War. They Lack Medical Care in the Region. Other European Countries are also doing that. “Why can’t the Netherlands do that?” Jetten Wonders. He Rejects The Cabinet’s Arguments That Aid in the Region is More Effective. “What a load of rubbish,” he says to sheaf. “Shame on you!”
Cabinet does not speak of genocide: ‘I am Genuinely Deeply Shocked’ the Cabinet does not agree with the un investigation that Israel is committing genocide. That leads to much outrage in the house. “I am Genuinely Deeply Shocked,” Says GL-PvdA Leader Timmermans. “What are we sacrifying for Israel? Our principles? Our soul?” Accordance to Timmermans, A Country Like the Netherlands “Cannot Exist for Long If we do not adhere to international law.”
Prime Minister Schoof Takes the Un Report SeriOutly. “There is a list that makes you speechless.” But, he adds, Only the International Court of Justice Can Conclude Whether there is genocide. That is also in the un report. “The Netherlands Supports That. That is the Line That The Cabinet Takes.” Says that in his contacts he does address the Israeli Government about the violence in Gaza.

The Leaders of DENK, Volt, SP, PvdD and GroenLinks-Pvda Want the Prime Minister to Show More Self-Reflection. They note that his cabinet has contributed to the polarization over the past two years.
The Parties also Believe That Schoof Should Set Standards. “The Prime Minister was there yesterday when the leader of the largest faction actual deprived more than a million Dutch people of their freedom of religion,” Said Timmermans.
“The Constitution is Beyond Question for Me. And the Freedoms Must Absolutely Be Guaranteed,” Answers. He refuses to go into the words of Wilders any Further.
Wilders is the first to interrupt. The Prime Minister Emphasized in His Introduction, Among Other Things, The Importance of Respect for Each Other and Making Compromises, and Wilders Wants To Continue with That For A Moment. He mainly uses that to proclaim the points that are important to his party: migration and security at state level.

A Parliamentary Inquiry Committee Earlier Ruled that the Suffering of Groningers In The Earthquake Area “Has Been Systematically Ignored” And That The Netherlands Has A “Debt of Honor” To Those People. The Government had Already Promised to Close the Gas Fields in Groningen, Among Other Things.
JA21 WILDS TO ROOPEN FILTS, because Accordance to Eerdmans, The Netherlands Has Become Too Dependent on Russian Gas. “I think it is a blunder to keep the wells closed forever.” He Underlines the Conclusions of the Inquiry Committee, He Believe. “Before we put a drill in the ground, we will first compensate the affected people.”
The plan is also with with strong criticism from D66, GL-PvdA and BBB. “It’s not about the money,” Emphasizes van der Plas. “It’s about trust in The Government.”
Eerdmans and van der Plas Clash about guesthouses BBB Leader van der Plas Tries to Corner Eerdmans on Pensions. She Underlines That This Year He Still Voted Against The Proposal of Member of Parliament Agnes Joseph to Give People A Say In The Transfer Of Their Money To The New System. BBB Voted in favor of the proposal at the time, which was also strongly discouraged by the cabinet.
“I voted Against Chaos,” Says Eerdmans, Who was Previously Against the Introduction of the New System. “Changing the rules of the game halfway through was not a good idea accordance to anyone.”
Accordance to experts, The Proposal would indeed Cause Great Chaos and Possible Cost Billions, because the New Pension System had introduced Already Been.
Joseph Has Since Switched from NSC to BBB.
PVV Leader Wilders was one of the first people present in The Plenary Debate Hall This Morning.
Eerdmans Has Appreciation for What the Cabinet Has Done the Last Speaker on the List is Ja21 Leader Joost Eerdmans.

Bikker Wants A Fixed Term of Office for the House of Representatives Currently It is “A Mess” in the Hague, Accordination to Cu Leader Mirjam Bikker. “What a Terrible Bath Business Card We Have Delivered. It is time to take response”.
Bikker Points Out In Her Speaking Time That In Other Countries The Parliament Does Sit Out The Term of Office. In The Netherlands, that also Applies to Municipal Councils and the Provincial States. It is Therefore Strange That Does Not Apply to the House of Representatives, Accordance to Bikker, Who Will Soon Submit A Motion “for a fixed term of office for the house of representatives”.
The CU’s Election Program States The Wish That The House of Representatives Will No Longer Be Automatically Dissolved If A Government Falls. The party would also like the king to have a role in the formation again, but a motion calling for this did not receive a majority earlier. Bikker Already Announces That She Will Make Another Attempt To Get That Majority After The Elections.

Lidewij de Vos is the second to speak. The New Leader of FvD Comes Across As Calmer Than Her Predecessor and Party Chairman Thierry Baudet, But Does ProLaim the Typical FvD Sound. The Party Wants To, Among Other Things, Withdraw from the European Union and Completely Stop the Nitrogen Policy and Asylum Reception. She also Emphasizes That Her Party Wants to Promote Remigration.
‘Afraid that Government has leg poisoned by Netanyahu’ Gaza is mentioned. PvdD is one of the most outspoken parties on this subject. Ouwehand does not understand that the Netherlands is Doing So Little to Stop the Violence. The United Nations Concluded This Week Israel is Committing Genocide in Gaza. As an Ally of Israel, The Netherlands is Doing Too Little To Stop This, Ouwehand Believes.
“The Palestinians are SEEN LESS THAN people by the Netanyahu Government. I am afraid that that narrative has also Poisoned the Dutch Government,” Says Ouwehand. “We are oblige to put an end to that announced genocide. To the deliberate starvation of the population and to the deliberate shooting of children.”
Ouwehand: ‘It is your duty to speak out’ pvdd leader ouwehand has started with the debate that starts yesterday. “It is your duty to speak if people are bee dismissed as second-class citizens. It is your duty if an ally is committing genocide in gaza.”
Ouwehand interviewed pussy riot last week at her parties congress. The activist Russian Pop Group Has Openly Criticized Russian President Putin. For this, some members had to be sent to a penal colony. But as soon as they were released, the protests Against Putin Were immediately resumed. Always Speak Out Against The Weakest in Society, is Ouwehand’s Message.
Outgoing Prime Minister Schoof is Putting the Finishing Touches on His Speech for Today’s Debate on Thursday Morning.
PVV Leader Geert Wilders had a striking Role on Wednesday. As the first speaker, the Dominated the Debate for Hours on Wednesday. But after that he did not get up once to ask the other party leaders anything. The PVV is excluded by the VVD, CDA, D66 and GL-PvdA, Among Others, which makes Makes Cabinet Partipation Rather Complicated Again.
Many Party Leaders Blamed Wilders For Not Achieving Anything As The Largest Party in a Coalition, and Now Criticizing Others for Not Doing Anything.
So far, that attitude does not hurt Wilders. In a Poll published on Wednesday Evening by Ipsos I&O, The PVV is by far the largest virtual. In that same poll it is also striking that the advance of JA21 continues. The Party is Virtualy Close to the VVD and D66.
Relations Between Timmermans (GL-PvdA) and VVD Member Dilan Yesilgoz Have Been Difficult for Months. The two party leaders make no secret of the fact that they do not want to negotiate with each other. ESpeciate on Asylum Measures, The Two Cannot Find Each Other. Althegh the real distance on this subject is not as great as they are pretending.
The CDA is comfortably in Between. Althegh Party Leader Bontenbal was Already Forced To Give A Direction on Wednesday. He also recedived some criticism about his ‘freedom contribution’, which in practice is a tax increase for defense spending. The CDA is Investigating WHETER THIS IS POSSIBLE VIA A HIGHER VAT. That would mean more exensive groceries.
Much Attention was a paid to which alliances are already being made. Party Leaders Were Busy Last Week Expressing Their Preferences for a Possible Future Coalition.
The VVD Even Made A Commercial About It. If the liberals have their way, they will negotiate with bbb, ja21 and d66. But That Option Seems Dead and Buried Even Before It Has Been SeriOutly Considered. D66 Leader Hinted on Wednesday that he sees Nothing in a right-wing cabinet.
Good morning! The Debate Will Resume Today at 10:15 am.
On Wednesday Morning It Became Clear That the Debate would Run Until Well after Midnight. It was Therefore decided to continuous part of it today. PvdD, FVD, SGP, CU, Volt and Ja21 Will Still Speak.
Then Prime Minister shoved May Answer the Questions Asked. There Were Not Many, because Party Leaders Mainly Looked at Each Other. The Cabinet Has Fallen for A Second Time and Relies on Only 32 Seats in the House of Representatives. With the elections in sight, it is campaigning emarter to focus the arrows on each other.
