Belgium's prime minister Alexander De Croo has said that "what is happening in Gaza today is no longer proportionate". [View all]
Lisa O'Carroll
If one bombs an entire refugee camp with the intention of eliminating one terrorist, then I don’t think that is proportionate anymore.
Something like that is a bridge too far.
De Croo added it was “completely logical” that “a solution” is sought for Hamas but “the question is how the solution should be found” during political dialogue, a pause in the fighting and the release of all hostages.
Several Belgian media reported him as saying:
Our country does not take sides. What we do choose is an end to violence and thousands of civilian victims.
