Caroline Gennez, the Belgian minister of development cooperation and major cities, says her government is considering the recognition of the state of Palestine.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, she said this was necessary for achieving peace in the long term.
Gennez also called on the Israeli government to the Beit Hanoon border crossing, called Erez by Israel, and the Karem Abu Salem crossing, called Kerem Shalom by Israel, with Gaza to allow in more humanitarian aid.
“On a usual day before October 7, there were 500 trucks necessary to supply what [people in Gaza] need,” she said, noting that “only 600 trucks” have come in through the Rafah crossing with Egypt since the start of the war.
Gennez also said that the Belgian government is pledging an additional two million euros ($2.1m) to humanitarian aid in Palestine, and five million euros ($5.3m) to the International Criminal Court.

God bless Belgium . You are great nation…
Rubish!! No one is going to recognise Palestine, don’t be stupid and don’t let these hypocrites to fool you. They’ve created israil lying about two state solution and recognising Palestine and 75 years later we are where we are. Almost all Palestine is under occupation and you think all of a sudden they will recognise Palestine and their right for self determination and resistance against occupation??? Their goal is to step by step take over all Palestine and kick out all the Palestinians from their land while talking two states solution and recognition of Palestine and they almost reached their goal. For now. Free Palestine!
Keep your 2 million euros just keep your sioniste for your self
Go Belgium…Don’t consider it, do it…Iceland did it already…😉😉
দুই রাষ্ট্র ভিত্তিক সমাধান না হলে সব সময় এমনই হবে তাই এটাই সঠিক স্বাধীন রাষ্ট্র ঘোষণা করা চাই ফিলিস্তিন স্বাধীন রাষ্ট্র হোক এটা সবার মনের আশা
just watched a political program on the Belgian national broadcaster. I have good news. The Belgian government is working intensively on this. Mainly diplomatic behind the scenes in the European capitals. And things come loose. Luxembourg, Finland and Portugal have already openly indicated that they want to follow this path. fully supported by Ireland. Other countries are working on this at the highest diplomatic level. Another proposal from Belgium to impose sanctions on Israel has stalled for the time being.
very sad that Eu-countries support terrorists 😞
The throne of satan
