Palestine approves Belgium's settlement ban
The State of Palestine welcomed the Belgian government's decision to ban the import of products originating from the Israeli settlements deemed illegal in the occupied territories, including East Jerusalem. The move is seen as a reflection of Belgium's commitment to international law principles and the International Court of Justice's opinion regarding the illegitimacy of occupation and settlement activities. The Ministry reaffirmed that this decision embodies a legal obligation requiring practical measures and policies to prevent supporting the occupation system. Palestine is closely following European discussions on adopting similar measures to prohibit trade with the settlements, appreciating the growing European support for this stance. According to Belgian media, the Federal Council of Ministers made the decision to impose the ban before the summer recess; however, the date of its implementation and the mechanisms for enforcement have not yet been announced.
