Along with many excellent colleagues, I signed this letter in support of Fiona Hill, in response to a letter from some unsurprising figures, attacking her. Text in screenshots for those who don't want to give the Guardian their money or data: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Due to an increase in threats, conflict and insecurity in Europe and worldwide, the Netherlands takes on more responsibility for its own security. The Netherlands supports the NATO proposal to spend 3,5% of GDP annually on defense and 1,5% on defense-related investments.

Dit is niet Dick Schoof. Maar dat zou het wel moeten zijn. Heel veel mensen zitten ondertussen op Bluesky, maar heel veel politici nog niet. Daarom roept @voltnederland.org vandaag de premier op om over te stappen. Dick, wanneer je er klaar voor bent is deze account helemaal van jou! #eXit

Spoke with HR/VP @kajakallas.bsky.social about the sanctions against @IntlCrimCourt officials. We agreed that the ICC should be able to function independently and effectively, and that the EU and its Member States will remain in close contact. We stand firmly behind the ICC and its officials.

The support of The Netherlands to Ukraine remains rock solid. Today I announce a €400 million package for maritime security, including 100+ fast vessels and 50+ sea drones. This is important to defend against Russian sea and river attacks. And to protect trade routes. 🇳🇱🇺🇦

De VVD kan Wilders electoraal onderuit halen door hem uit te sluiten als coalitiepartner. Zo deed de VVD het in 2012 toen Wilders Rutte I ten val bracht (PVV -9, VVD +10). Soortgelijke resultaten in 2017 en 2021. Het ging pas mis toen de VVD in 2023 de deur weer openzette. Geen hogere wiskunde

Samenwerking met de PVV? VVD-leider Yeşilgöz wil een nieuwe samenwerking met de PVV nog niet uitsluiten. "Ik moet daar nog even over nadenken" Dat is verrassend. Normaalgesproken leer je van fouten.

Ukraine has surprised us so many times over the last 3 years. Just a few examples: The Moskva (2022), counter offensive (2023), Kursk (2024) and now the drone attack on Russian bombers. Let’s keep up our support, we can be sure Ukraine will keep up its surprises! 🇺🇦

The Netherlands, together with the UK, Germany, France and 15 other countries, calls on Israel to allow immediate, unhindered and unconditional humanitarian access by the UN and other aid organisations to the Gaza Strip. Life-saving assistance must never be politicised. 1/3

The decision by Prime Minister Netanyahu to allow limited aid into Gaza is inadequate and insufficient. Massive amounts of humanitarian aid are urgently needed to alleviate the catastrophic situation in Gaza, ending food shortages and human suffering. 1/2

Today is World Press Freedom Day. Press freedom is essential for democracy. It is under (economic, political) threat in many places. In fact press freedom is declining and only very few countries have high degrees of press freedom. Source: @rsf.org #WPFD #wpfd2025 #pressfreedom

Thanks @realjakebroe.bsky.social for posting this. For those who haven’t heard of Franky and Coen: they make their living selling fries and several times a year drive their specialised van to Ukraine to hand out free portions. Quite a morale booster!

The more people who do this, the more people will join them. I hope Democrats have donors willing to help fund security for these ppl, if they need it. Same for any GOP lawmakers willing to switch parties. Few people are this brave. I wish it weren't that way, but this isn't like the movies.
