BRUSSELS, Sept 2 — Belgium will recognise the State of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly in September, its foreign minister announced on Tuesday.
“Palestine will be recognised by Belgium at the UN session! And firm sanctions are being imposed against the Israeli government,” Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot wrote on X.
In July, French President Emmanuel Macron said France would recognise a Palestinian state at the UN meeting, due to be held from September 9 to 23 in New York.
More than a dozen other Western countries have since called on others to do the same.
Prevot said the decision came “in view of the humanitarian tragedy” unfolding in Gaza, where Israeli offensives have displaced most of the population at least once and the UN has declared a famine.
“In the face of the violence perpetrated by Israel in violation of international law, given its international obligations, including the duty to prevent any risk of genocide, Belgium had to take strong decisions to increase pressure on the Israeli government and Hamas terrorists,” Prevot wrote.
“This is not about punishing the Israeli people, but rather about ensuring that its government respects international and humanitarian law and taking action to try to change the situation on the ground,” he added. — AFP
Belgium to increase pressure on Hamas terrorists?
ReplyDeleteHa3 How? Will Prevot write them a stern letter and post on X?
The only pressure on Harm-ass is to go in and disarm/kill them. IDF is doing just that.
Mfer, read it this way.
DeleteBelgium to increase pressure on the zionist state terrorists.
How? Will Prevot write them a stern letter and post on X?
The only pressure on the zionist state is to isolate the zionist state internationally. Meanwhile, the persistent Hamas guerrilla warfares r picking on the idf soldierboys.
Greta is on the way, with RM100 million Maggi Mee from Bolehland?
ReplyDeleteGHF alone has delivered 150 million meals, none of which have been stolen by Harm-ass.
Bolehland is ill-advised to trust her delivering our taxpayer RM100 million "aid". Harm-ass will enjoy the Maggi Mee and the civilian Gazans won't get any.
Best of Luck to the Useful Idiots.
I hear this time the Isaacs won't be so kind. They are preparing prison cell for her next to the Palestinian prisoners that she loves so much. With the Oct 7 video playing on endless loop.
Here in this clip she gets stuck when asked about Harm-ass the Hostages. It would be better if she asked them nicely to release all hostages and surrender.
She says "hundreds of thousands" have died in Gaza. Even Harm-ass don't claim that.

mfer, do tell how many of those GHF delivered 150 million meals ends up in feeding those zionist settlers?
