Secretary-General, Belgium
❗️ condemns all attacks on UN personnel
❗️ calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and the release of all hostages
Ongehoord dat we dit moeten blijven herhalen.
Hulpverleners zijn geen doelwit.
Humanitaire hulp is geen doelwit.
Humanitaire hulp verhinderen is in strijd met het internationale recht.
Honger is geen oorlogswapen.
Unbelievable that we have to keep repeating this.
Aid workers are not targets.
Humanitarian aid is not a target.
Preventing humanitarian aid is against international law.
Hunger is not a weapon of war.
🌈 With 20+ years of same-sex marriage & ranking 2nd in the ILGA-Europe Rainbow Index, Belgium is proud of its equal rights' track record.
💪 Never taking this progress for granted, we continue to strive for an ever more inclusive society.

Historic
@UN
General Assembly vote.
Resolution -cosponsored & voted for by Belgium- brings
#Palestine
step closer to full UN membership.
Important international signal for Palestinian state. Keeping recognition high on the agenda.
Today at the UNGA, Belgium cosponsored the resolution recommending the Security Council to reconsider favourably
#Palestine
’s bid to become a full UN Member State.
🇧🇪 We continue to call for an immediate
#ceasefire
, the release of the hostages & full access for humanitarian aid.
Unacceptable.
@UNRWA
is last resort for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in
#Gaza
.
Disrupting their operation, preventing & blocking humanitarian aid endangers innocent lives.
#Israel
must vouch for security & protection of this UN organisation.
This evening, Israeli residents set fire twice to the perimeter of the UNRWA Headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem.
This took place while UNRWA and other UN Agencies’ staff were on the compound.
While there were no casualties among our staff, the fire caused extensive damage…
Onaanvaardbaar.
@UNRWA
is laatste redmiddel honderdduizenden Palestijnen in

Het verstoren van hun werking, verhinderen & blokkeren van humanitaire hulp brengt onschuldige mensenlevens in gevaar.

Situatie
#WestBank
loopt verder uit de hand.
Kolonisten belagen & verjagen Palestijnse bevolking, vaak onder oog Israëlische leger.
Ook hier: enkel tweestatenoplossing biedt structurele garantie op vrede & veiligheid voor Israëli's en Palestijnen.
Situation
#WestBank
getting further out of hand.
Settlers besiege & expel Palestinians, often under eye of Israeli army.
Again: only two-state solution offers structural guarantee of peace & security for both Israelis & Palestinians.
