Belgium edges closer to recognising Palestine

Interior Minister Bernard Quintin (MR) declared Friday evening at the show "De Afspraak op Vrijdag" on the VRT that he supported the plan of French President Macron on a two-state solution for Palestine and Israel, provided certain conditions are met. ...

"We support the plan of French President Macron for a two-state solution for Palestine and Israel. But there are some conditions attached to it." This is what Minister of the Interior Bernard Quintin (MR) said in De Afspraak on Friday. His party was the only one in the federal government that still obstructed the recognition of the Palestinian state. "What is happening there is unacceptable. The recognition of Palestine must come."

In no uncertain terms, Minister of the Interior Bernard Quintin (MR) wants the federal police to put an end to the excessively long waiting times at passport control at Zaventem airport. "We have to tackle this," he says.

A trans-party delegation of French and European parliamentarians accompanied the French organisation Les Guerrières de la Paix, appointed for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2025, in Israel and Palestine. Elected and association sign a collective forum.
