On this week's Lowdown, we'll first talk about the motion by the Greenleft-Labour party to ban weapons exports to Israel, leading to a media storm and consternation at their party conference. After that, we'll discuss a newly released report on the 350.000 unemployed immigrants in the Netherlands. Then, after running through a handful of other headlines, we get to the Holland Hotline, where our international guest gets to ask their most pressing question about Dutch society.
In this episode, Aitan's question is about segregation in Dutch schools.

About Low Country Lowdown
Low Country Lowdown is the podcast for internationals in the Netherlands who want to stay in the loop.
Every Friday morning, we deliver a 20 minute explainer on the past week’s most important stories in Dutch news, politics, and society. We go beyond the breaking news by picking the major themes that will continue to shape the country.
Whether it's the ever-worsening housing crisis, consequential political feuds or the slow-burn disaster in the prison system, we explain why each story matters now and how it may play out in the months and years to come.
Every week, we're joined by an expat guest who shares their view and voices their most pressing questions.
