17.09.2024 โ‡ข The day of the King's Speech and the exploding pagers
โŒจPrinsjesdag dominated the morning news, with King Willem-Alexander delivering his annual speech. The King emphasized a stricter, faster, and more austere asylum policy, reflecting the new government's stance. The afternoon saw the presentation of the Miljoenennota, with Minister of Finance Heinen discussing budget plans. Reactions from political parties varied, with some praising the proposals and others criticizing them. Later in the day, attention shifted to an unprecedented incident in Lebanon and Syria, where thousands of Hezbollah members were injured, and several killed, by simultaneously exploding pagers. This event, suspected to be a cyberattack, raised tensions in the region and sparked discussions about potential Israeli involvement. The day concluded with ongoing debates about the implications of both domestic policy changes and the international security situation.
