Pressure mounts on the Dutch cabinet to denounce Israel’s destruction of Gaza, with the mayor of Amsterdam, universities and even PVV voters growing increasingly critical. Scientists warn that Donald Trump’s cuts to academic research are hampering their ability to work with American colleagues.

No green room drama for the Dutch at Eurovision this year as Claude safely makes it through to the final. And Ajax’s NSC-like disintegration sets up a grandstand finish to the Eredivisie season.
