In the morning, France-Israel match reports and nuclear power plant expansion plans dominated coverage. By midday, NSC State Secretary Nora Achahbar resigned over perceived racist undertones in cabinet discussions following the Ajax-Maccabi Tel Aviv incidents. Her departure triggered immediate crisis, with other NSC members threatening to leave.
Premier Schoof summoned coalition leaders to emergency consultations at the Catshuis. NSC leader Van Vroonhoven's arrival statement questioning cabinet continuation heightened speculation of government collapse. The crisis centered on integration discourse following Amsterdam's protests and violence.
By evening, after hours of negotiations, the cabinet survived. Achahbar's departure stood, but NSC maintained support for the coalition. Meanwhile, police released new footage of suspects in antisemitic violence cases, connecting the day's political crisis to the week's street-level tensions.
