The conflict in the Gaza strip dominates this week’s news in the Netherlands. Prime minister Mark Rutte repeated the Dutch government’s support for Israel and stressed it must stay within the boundaries of international laws and proportionality, but a similar statement by Frans Timmermans caused the first friction between the two party alliance he’s leading into the November general election.

We take a first look at the results of a survey in which DutchNews readers were asked who they would vote for and what their main concerns are – spoiler: Vincent van Gogh Pokémon cards is not one of them. Energy minister Rob Jetten is investing billions to improve the Dutch electricity grid, the Tweede Kamer wants to throw the surcharge on disposable plastics in the trash and Joran van der Sloot finally admitted he murdered American teenager Natalee Holloway on the island of Aruba in 2005.

The Dutch cricket team sensationally beat South Africa at the World Cup with the help of mysterious hats and oars, and Ajax is finally showing its appreciation of the women’s team – which has absolutely nothing to do with the dire performance of the men.
