BRUSSELS, September 25, 2025 (WAFA) – The Belgian capital, Brussels, witnessed a mass demonstration today in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to condemn the Israeli occupation crimes in the Gaza Strip.

The protest was organized by the Belgian National Coalition for Palestine, with wide participation from the Palestinian community and dozens of supporting organizations and political parties from various nationalities, including a notable presence of several members of parliament.

Participants raised Palestinian flags and banners condemning Israeli crimes in the Gaza Strip, calling on the Belgian government to take urgent and concrete measures to halt the genocidal war and systematic starvation being committed against the Palestinian people, which aim at ethnic cleansing and the forced displacement of Palestinians from their land.

Demonstrators urged the Belgian government to impose strict sanctions on the occupation and to fully assume its responsibilities in protecting its citizens taking part in the “Freedom Flotilla,” which aims to break the blockade on Gaza amid the catastrophic humanitarian situation and widespread famine affecting more than two million Palestinians.

They stressed that any attack on the activists by the Israeli navy would constitute a blatant violation of international law, placing direct responsibility on Belgium to take the necessary measures to protect its nationals and hold Israel accountable.
