Belgian FM says country open to Palestinian statehood

Belgium’s Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib says the country will consider recognising Palestinian statehood “when the moment comes,” Al Jazeera reports.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said the resolution “must be implemented without delay”.
