On July 20, federal police arrested two soldiers of the Israeli army during the festival. This arrest follows a complaint filed by the Hind Rajab foundation of activist Dyab Abu Jahjah. The latter accused the two soldiers of having committed war crimes in the Gaza Strip.
In the Israeli press, arrest and interrogation made a big splash, according to Knack. In Channel 12, an Israeli television channel, one of the two soldiers, who are part of the so -called Givati brigade, said they were beaten during the arrest. “We were slapped in the face,” he said.
In the process, a Belgian diplomat was summoned by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs to explain the issue, confirms the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Knack media. Foreign affairs did not want to comment on the content of the conversation.
Recently, Belgium and 27 other countries have signed a statement calling in the immediate end of the war in Gaza.
Sunday, the diplomatic envoy of France in Israel was also taken to task, after the French president Emmanuel Macron announced last week that France intended to recognize the existence of a Palestinian state.
