Belgium Stands Firm Against Israeli Plans for Gaza

Belgium's foreign minister has taken a firm stance against Israel's proposed plan to occupy Gaza City and take military control of the Gaza Strip, taking diplomatic action by summoning the Israeli ambassador on Friday.

The Belgian Foreign Ministry expressed its complete disapproval of Israel's decision, citing ongoing concerns about continued colonization and the potential annexation of the West Bank. Belgium has pledged to vigorously advocate for a reversal of this decision, according to an official statement.

This move follows the Israeli government's official confirmation of its intentions, prompting Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot to demand accountability from the Israeli Ambassador.
