Earlier, Israel had already carried out strikes in the area around the southern city of Rafah after “terrorists” allegedly fired an anti-tank missile and shot at Israeli troops.

How do they view the party now?

The news with background, context, and analysis.

Just a few days remain until the parliamentary elections. Climate change ranks fourth among voters’ priorities, yet tens of thousands joined the climate march today. Across Europe, the issue is front and center, but in the Dutch campaign it’s receiving little attention. Political analyst Arjan Noorlander and economist Sander Tordoir discuss why.

* Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Ukraine continue. As the cold sets in, strikes on energy infrastructure are also increasing. In Chernihiv, eighty kilometers from the Russian border, electricity is scarce and neighborhoods go without power for hours — yet the population remains resilient.

GroenLinks–PvdA has filed a complaint over defamatory AI-generated images of Frans Timmermans, created by PVV MPs Boon and Crijns, following reporting by *de Volkskrant*; Wilders has apologized on X.

* Report: more isolated peoples than previously thought. According to a new report, there are at least 196 Indigenous groups living in isolation from the outside world — more than previously assumed. The organization Survival International has mapped this number. These groups have deliberately chosen not to have contact with the outside world, often to protect themselves from colonization. But the question is how long they can continue to do so.

In the preliminary projection by ANP, D66 and the PVV have become the largest parties, both now standing at 26 seats. Due to the small margins, it may take days before it is clear which party has become the largest. The broadcast is entirely focused on the election results, with analysis by political commentators Arjan Noorlander and Nynke de Zoeten, various prominent party members, voters, and political scientist Matthijs Rooduijn, who researches far-right parties and voter behavior.
