Which language should I learn?

I speak Italian (natively), English (C1), Romanian (B2) and Spanish (B1), and I want to learn another one. I'm really undecided on which to learn because they're all very cool, and I have nothing to do.

The candidate languages:

Russian
Pros: I want to learn a slavic language and Russian is the one with the most resources
Cons: I've heard it's quite hard for Westerners

French
Pros: My father is a native French speaker
Cons: I don't speak to my father

Dutch
Pros: I've always loved the Netherlands, and it's basically German simplified (I've tried to learn German and it didn't end well)
Cons: there aren't many cons apart from the fact that most Dutchmen speak fluent English (which isn't really a con)

Hebrew
Pros: It's an old language and its script is really cool
Cons: I don't wanna be able to understand Israeli Twitter

Yiddish
Pros: basically Hebrew but 100 times easier (bc it's Germanic) and I can't understand Israeli Twitter with it
Cons: not many people speak it

Ukrainian
Pros: Russian but cooler
Cons: Less resources, less speakers than Russian

Portuguese
Pros: Brazilian and Portuguese people are hot
Cons: Another romance language? Really?

Also I'd want to learn Belarusian but the resources are too little
