Member of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Belgian Federal Parliament, Representative Simon Mutcan, commenting on the recent Human Rights Watch report on the racist practices of Israel, said that apartheid is a specific war crime in international law. Mutcan added, “Today I will question the Belgian Foreign Minister, Sophie, about the issue of the International Criminal Court, which the Israeli Prime Minister described as “anti-Semitic”, the conditions in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, which is threatened with eviction, separating the Palestinian territories, applying the policy of discrimination, and updating the database of companies operating in Israeli settlements.” Mutcan assured that he would resume the parliamentary initiative so that Belgium would not be complicit in the construction of Israeli settlements.
