Belgium to Recognize Palestine, Impose 12 Sanctions on Israel

Recognizing Palestine now essentially rewards Hamas terrorism and undermines genuine peace efforts by legitimizing the October 7 attacks that killed 1,200 Israelis. These declarations are naive reactions to propaganda images that ignore the corrupt Palestinian Authority and Hamas's continued control over Gaza. Such unilateral recognition complicates future negotiations and distances realistic solutions by standing with terrorists against Israel's right to defend itself.
