Marianne Zwagerman wrote that according to multiple well-informed sources, it was mainly the CDA that exerted heavy pressure behind the scenes on Agriculture Minister Jaimi van Essen (D66).

Bas Paternotte wrote that she had actually made the statement and claimed that VVD and CDA had agreed to it; otherwise, according to him, a cabinet crisis would have arisen by now. He called the cabinet "the sickest ever." https://t.co/aejB9ZpZQ1 #Kabinet #Politiek #VVD (translated)

Caroline van der Plas wrote that after what she described as disillusioning answers from the Minister of Justice and Security during the question hour, she had requested a debate on antisemitism. According to her, the minister found plenty, but did nothing against the veneration of Hamas. Van der Plas said that the CDA, D66, FvD, SP, PRO, 50Plus, PvdD, DENK, and Volt did not support her request. According to her, the CDA had given as a reason that there had already been a debate this spring. https://t.co/ZgvA7vN1cV #antisemitisme #debat #Hamas (translated)
