But still “only … if Hamas releases all remaining Israeli hostages kidnapped in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack and the militant group ‘no longer has any role in managing Palestine’”
How odd: nothing about disbanding the IDF and ensuring that the Israeli government that is *checks notes* COMMITTING GENOCIDE no longer has any role managing Israel?
“In the meantime, Belgium will also impose ‘firm sanctions’ on the Israeli government, Prévot said. The measures include a ban on importing products from illegal settlements, a review of public procurement policies with Israeli companies and restrictions on consular assistance to Belgians living in illegal settlements.”
This part sounds good but I’ll believe it when I see it.
