Belgium calls for Israel to remove Gaza aid restrictions

Belgium’s Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot urged Israel to lift restrictions on humanitarian access in Palestinian territories, stating that aid should not be politicized. He criticized Israel’s plans to block international NGOs in Gaza and highlighted the International Court of Justice’s ruling that mandates unhindered aid delivery. Prevot called for cooperation with humanitarian actors based on impartial criteria and emphasized the worsening humanitarian crisis affecting over 2 million people in Gaza. Despite a ceasefire, Gaza’s crossings remain largely closed, exacerbating the situation.
