Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot (Francophone centrist/Les Engagés) says he is prepared to block political dossiers on the cabinet table if the federal government does not take a tougher stance on Israel. Daily De Standaard was first to report the news that the minister's office has meanwhile confirmed. The threat is mainly directed at coalition partner MR, the Francophone liberals, says VRT News political editor Ivan De Vadder. On Wednesday, the federal government’s inner cabinet will meet to adopt a new joint position on the war in Gaza.
