The day began with reports of Israel's involvement in exploding pagers in Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah. Later, explosions of walkie-talkies during a Hezbollah funeral were reported, resulting in hundreds of injuries and at least 14 deaths. In Dutch politics, the General Political Considerations debate started, with Frans Timmermans attacking the government's asylum plan. Geert Wilders defended the crisis law, while opposition parties criticized the PVV's healthcare plans. The NSC party faced heavy criticism over the asylum emergency law. Minister Faber officially requested an EU opt-out for migration rules, which the European Commission promptly rejected. The debate continued into the evening, with BBB leader Van der Plas criticizing her own minister's manure plan.
