08.02.2025The Three Return From Gaza
Trump's evolving plans dominated morning coverage, from an expected Zelensky meeting to claims about annexing Canada as the 51st state. Queen Máxima warned about buy-now-pay-later schemes' societal impact.

By midday, attention shifted to the release of three Israeli hostages in Gaza - Eli (52), Ohad (56), and Or (34) - alongside 183 Palestinian prisoners. Their emaciated condition sparked outrage in Israel and led to Netanyahu's condemnation.

Evening coverage focused on mass protests across Germany against AfD, with 250,000 gathering in Munich alone. Similar anti-government protests emerged in Slovakia against Fico's pro-Russian stance. The Dutch government's position on AI regulation surfaced late, pushing for increased European control over American AI companies.

Local issues included ongoing concerns about Polish construction workers affected by new self-employment laws and Amsterdam residents increasingly avoiding the city center.
