The day focused on the political continuation of the Netherlands' "rump cabinet." In the morning, VVD and BBB signaled their intent to govern, with NRC detailing Minister Veldkamp's prior departure due to failed negotiations over Israel sanctions. The parliamentary debate saw a majority support the continuation of the Schoof cabinet with VVD and BBB, despite opposition concerns. By early afternoon, Prime Minister Schoof admitted failing to preserve cabinet unity and announced ministerial post allocations. Later, he concluded that reconciliation with NSC was not worthwhile, affirming the path forward with VVD and BBB. Concurrently, a parliamentary majority voted against additional measures against Israel regarding Gaza. News also covered the ongoing Lisa murder investigation, including Geert Wilders' retracted comments and the PVV's rise in polls. GreenLeft-Labour's Frans Timmermans continued to push for a rapid new cabinet formation.
