Belgium: 17 European Countries Considering Sanctions Against Israel
DaysofPal – Belgian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot has revealed that 17 European countries are actively considering imposing sanctions on Israel, with a majority reportedly supporting punitive measures in response to its actions in Gaza.
In an interview with Al Jazeera today, Prévot declared:
'It is unacceptable to see women and children dying of hunger and thirst in Gaza,'
calling for urgent international action 'at any cost' to lift the Israeli siege.
He also confirmed that Belgium is studying the feasibility of establishing an airlift to deliver humanitarian aid into Gaza, where the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate rapidly.
Aid Blockade: Israel Halts Humanitarian Deliveries for Third Consecutive Day
The Gaza Government Media Office announced today that the Israeli occupation continues to block the entry of humanitarian aid trucks into the Gaza Strip for the third straight day, in clear violation of previous commitments.
In a statement sent to Sand News Agency, the media office asserted:
'The occupation has stopped the entry of aid it had previously committed to allow since Monday, without any legal or humanitarian justification.'
The office warned of a dramatic collapse in health and living conditions, as food, water, medicine, and fuel supplies run dangerously low, intensifying the risk of a full-scale humanitarian disaster.
Israeli Gunfire Targets Diplomatic Delegation in Jenin
Addressing the attack on a diplomatic delegation in Jenin earlier today, Prévot stated:
'We were deeply shocked to learn that Israel opened fire on diplomats.'
The delegation, which included diplomats from 22 Arab and foreign nations, was visiting the Jenin refugee camp to observe the situation on the ground when Israeli forces opened fire, reportedly without provocation.
The incident has sparked widespread condemnation from Palestinian, Arab, and international officials, who view the attack as a dangerous escalation and violation of diplomatic norms.
