In a major upset, Dutch elections saw far-right leader Geert Wilders â famous for his anti-Islam rhetoric and strong support for Israel â lose to the center-left liberal âDemocrats 66â party. The D66 are led by Rob Jetten, an openly gay 38-year-old who is a vocal supporter of Palestine. Jetten has called for recognizing a Palestinian state, suspending the EUâIsrael trade deal, and boycotting settlement products. In May, he joined a 100,000-person âRed Lineâ protest in The Hague against what he described as the âgenocide in Gaza,â saying the Netherlands âmust do everything to stop the starvation and killing of innocent Palestinians.â D66 surged from 7 to 27 seats, effectively tying Wildersâ PVV, which fell from 37 to 26 seats. Coalition talks are underway, and Jetten is expected to become prime minister on October 30.
