Belgium wants sanctions against Israel for Gaza bombings, deputy PM

Belgium’s deputy prime minister has called on the Belgian government to adopt sanctions against Israel and investigate the bombings of hospitals and refugee camps in Gaza, Reuters reports.

“It is time for sanctions against Israel. The rain of bombs is inhumane,” deputy prime minister Petra De Sutter told Nieuwsblad newspaper. It is clear that Israel does not care about the international demands for a ceasefire,“ she said.

De Sutter said the European Union should immediately suspend its association agreement with Israel, which aims at better economic and political cooperation.
