Egypt Supports Belgium's Settlement Goods Ban
Egypt welcomed the Belgian government's decision to ban the import of goods and products from Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, considering it a step in support of the values of justice and United Nations resolutions, especially Security Council Resolution 2334, which affirms the illegality of settlement activity and calls for its immediate halt. Egypt called on the European Union countries and the international community to take similar measures to stop products from settlements, emphasizing that peace in the Middle East requires ending the occupation, enabling Palestinians to realize their legitimate rights, and establishing their independent state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. This came after the Belgian government, before the summer holiday, decided to prohibit the import of settlement products through an official amendment that sets strict rules to prevent the entry of any goods indicated in documents as originating from Israeli settlements, within a licensing system that automatically rejects any import requests for such products, with a transitional period of 120 days for compliance. These measures are part of an escalation by the Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, amid ongoing assaults and invasions. The number of Palestinian martyrs and casualties has exceeded 73,000 since the start of the aggression two years ago, amid a severe deterioration in humanitarian and health conditions in the Gaza Strip.
