A pro-Palestinian demonstration in Ghent, Belgium, attracted a significant turnout of over a thousand participants on Saturday, advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza and urging for sanctions against Israel.
Footage shows protesters brandishing flags and maps of Palestine, as well as carrying impactful signs with messages like ‘Student Intifada’ and ‘End bloodshed and dehumanization now.’
Several civil society organizations in Belgium have joined the call to boycott Israel, including prominent groups like 11.11.11, Vrede vzw, and the Ghent Coalition for Palestine, with the notable presence of Belgium’s Deputy Prime Minister, Petra De Sutter.
Deputy Prime Minister De Sutter, known for her support of South Africa’s position against Israel, has been vocal in advocating for trade sanctions to be imposed by the Belgian government.
