The Greens had been the first to ask that this commission was extracted from its summer torpor to evoke the situation in the Palestinian enclave, subject to Israeli fire for almost two years. The parties of the majority CD&V and Vooruit then joined this request, joined by the N-VA.
The meeting will also be held under a critical eye of civil society. An event will thus make it possible to follow the debates live and to keep the general public informed. “We can no longer attend this infamous show without doing anything. We therefore meet this Thursday, from 12:30 pm, for a gathering on the initiative of civil society which will be held Place de la Liberté”, a few includes of the Parliament, said the CNE on Wednesday in a press release.
“Through special rapporteurs present in committee, thanks to a live Twitch of debates and social networks, public opinion will witness”, adds the Christian union, according to which “it is time to pass hollow words to actual acts, not to appear in the media but to really end the current genocide”.
“We will recall there the minimum requirements taken up in our petition of August 1, calling the parties of the federal government which claim to be alongside the Palestinian people (Vooruit, CD&V and committed) to ensure that Belgium acts, either by a government agreement, or by allowing an alternative majority to emerge in the Parliament”, adds the Belgo-Palestinian association.
Like the Federal, Walloon and Flemish parliaments will also bring together their international relations committee on August 19 to look at the situation in Gaza.
