>> The recognition of Palestine would only be formalized if Hamas releases all remaining Israeli hostages kidnapped in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack and the militant group “no longer has any role in managing Palestine,” [Foreign Minister Maxime] Prévot said.

>> … Belgium will also impose “firm sanctions” on the Israeli government, ... The measures include a ban on importing products from illegal settlements, a review of public procurement policies with Israeli companies and restrictions on consular assistance to Belgians living in illegal settlements.

>> … two “extremist” Israeli ministers, several “violent settlers” and Hamas leaders would be designated “persona non grata” in #Belgium

Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot said the recognition would happen only after Hamas releases all Israeli hostages and no longer manages Palestine.

So it's mean less. Israel consider all palestinians hamas

Lol, so literally not actually doing either of those things. European leaders are such dishonest scum.
