The Belgian federal government has reached an agreement on its position regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, emphasizing humanitarian support for civilians in Gaza.

Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot stressed the importance of additional aid measures, which may include establishing a potential air bridge and providing care for sick or injured children.

On May 20, 2025, Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken announced that the Belgian military is ready to assist with humanitarian air drops and evacuations of injured children from Gaza.

Francken expressed the government's commitment to addressing the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, reiterating their willingness to assist with evacuations if necessary.

He also highlighted the challenges of obtaining Israeli permission for air operations, noting that such operations would need to be conducted from Jordan.

Furthermore, the agreement includes a commitment to review Article 2 of the EU-Israel Association Agreement, which focuses on human rights and may lead to sanctions against violent settlers, Hamas leaders, and military officials from both sides.
