Belgium Condemns Israeli Resolution Against Palestinian Statehood

“The two-state solution is the only viable path to lasting stability in the Middle East,” wrote Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib on X. “Two recognized states that guarantee peace and security for their citizens.”
The Knesset, Israel’s parliament, voted 68-9 in favor of a resolution that opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state, even as part of a negotiated peace agreement, arguing that such a state would pose an “existential threat” to Israel.
