The Belgian Federal Representative for the Labor Party, Nabil Boukili, called on his country's government, and the European Union, to take a clear position and condemn crimes against humanity, violent repression and the illegal occupation of Palestine by the apartheid state.

"For the fifth consecutive day, extremist settlers, protected by the Israeli occupation army, are storming Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, and there are more than 1,000 Palestinian worshipers in the middle of Ramadan, who are subjected to brutal attacks and are being pursued with rubber bullets and batons," Boukili said in a statement.

Boukili added that the extremists organized a "flags march" again in the occupied city of East Jerusalem, the same Israeli provocations that led to the war in May last year.

Boukili said, "All these Israeli violations, but what do we hear from the Belgian government and the European Union? Nothing but a weak "concern" in the face of an "escalation" without culpability."
