Belgium’s Foreign Minister said he does not rule out blocking the government’s major decisions if political parties continue to prevent him from taking a tougher stance on Israel.
“If the government does not take a tougher stance on human rights violations by the Israeli government or recognise Palestine, there is a risk of a major crisis,” Maxime Prevot, who is also the deputy PM, was quoted as saying by De Standaard on Monday.
“For me and my party, Gaza is indeed a crucial issue. We absolutely must find a solution within the government.”
