‘Only the Word Genocide Can Describe What’s Happening in Gaza’: Belgian FM
- Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot declared on May 27, 2025, in Athens that only the word 'genocide' can describe Israel's actions in Gaza amid a prolonged humanitarian blockade.
- This statement follows over two months of an Israeli blockade imposed in early March 2024, allowing minimal aid into Gaza and prompting war crimes arrest warrants against Israeli leaders.
- Prevot emphasized that deliberately starving civilians constitutes a war crime and supports sanctions against military leaders and settlers forcibly evicting Palestinians in the West Bank.
- Nearly 54,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have died since October 2023, while the EU's recent trade agreement review reflects growing concern over violations amid widely criticized international inaction.
- The situation’s escalation risks further diplomatic and economic fallout for Israel, and Prevot urged intensified pressure from Belgium and Europe to compel an end to the humanitarian crisis.
