A judge in Amsterdam on Wednesday rejected an emergency appeal to stop two Ye concerts in the Netherlands, clearing the way for the shows to go ahead at the Gelredome in Arnhem on June 6 and June 8. The Amsterdam District Court said there were no grounds to bar him and no sign that his presence in the coming days would create concrete public order dangers.

The ruling matters now because it lands just days before the concerts, after the Central Jewish Council rushed to court on Tuesday to try to block them. Concert organizers say 70,000 tickets have already been sold, turning the case into a live test of how far Dutch authorities will go when a performance by a global star collides with accusations of antisemitism.

The council argued that Ye should be banned from the country because of his admiration for Adolf Hilter and the sale of T-shirts featuring swastikas. After the decision, Chanan Hertzberger said, “The feeling we are getting is that it is okay if you are antisemitic,” a line that captured the anger among Jewish groups who believe the concerts should never have been allowed to stand.

The court was not moved by that argument. It said the concerts were not a threat to public order, even as lawmakers in the Netherlands backed a motion to bar Ye from entering the country and the immigration minister said there was no legal basis to do so. Bart van den Brink called Ye’s remarks “reprehensible” but said there was “no reason to bar him,” underscoring how the legal and political responses have split even as the pressure to act grew.

Ye, 48, has drawn wide controversy in recent years for repeated antisemitic remarks, and the Netherlands case follows setbacks elsewhere. He was barred from entering the U.K. in April over his comments, shows in Italy and Poland were scrapped, and more than 100,000 fans turned out in Istanbul on Saturday evening to watch his first performance in Turkey. He apologized in January in a full-page advertisement in The, but the backlash has not stopped the touring machine from moving country to country.

For the Netherlands, the immediate question is simpler: whether any further legal or government move can still interfere before the June 6 and June 8 dates arrive. For ticket holders in Arnhem, the court has given the green light. For Ye’s critics, it has left the argument in the political realm, where the next fight is no longer about whether he can perform, but about what his return to European stages says about how far the line has shifted.
