The day was dominated by Prime Minister Jetten's official apology to the Moluccan community for decades of neglect, delivered at a monument unveiling in Rotterdam. Morning headlines had already flagged skepticism from the community, but by early afternoon all major outlets reported the historic speech. NRC noted the apology was not in the original script, calling it 'almost too late, but welcome.' Earlier, sports coverage continued to celebrate Oranje's 5-1 win over Sweden, with foreign media dubbing Brian Brobbey 'The Beast.' International news focused on US-Iran negotiations in Switzerland, where Vice President Vance arrived for talks overshadowed by Israeli demands for a security zone in Lebanon. An Al Jazeera cameraman was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza. Domestic stories included the end of the solar net metering scheme, holiday traffic warnings, and a heatwave threatening record temperatures in France.
