The deputy prime minister of Belgium on Wednesday urged the government to sanction "Israel" and look into the bombardment of hospitals and refugee camps in Gaza.

Deputy Prime Minister Petra De Sutter told Nieuwsblad newspaper that the "rain of bombs is inhumane," adding that the Israeli occupation "does not care about the international demands for a ceasefire."

"Israel" has murdered over 10,560 Palestinians, including 4,324 children and 2,823 women since it began bombarding Gaza on October 7 in response to a Palestinian Resistance operation.

To improve economic and political relations, De Sutter expressed that the EU should immediately revoke its association agreement with the Israeli occupation, emphasizing that it should also forbid the entry of aggressive settlers, politicians, and troops guilty of war crimes, as well as impose an import embargo on Israeli goods.

She also suggested that Belgium increase financing for the International Criminal Court in The Hague to look into the bombings.

Following a month of relentless Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, a coalition of 13 prominent humanitarian organizations, including Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Amnesty International, and Oxfam, asked international leaders to press for a ceasefire in Gaza.

The organizations released a statement the day before a humanitarian conference on the Gaza Strip was scheduled to take place in Paris, in which they called on "French President Emmanuel Macron and heads of state... to do everything in their power to obtain an immediate ceasefire."

Currently, in Gaza, electricity, clean water, and fuel have all run out, and there are no medical supplies or lifesaving treatments.

The Israeli occupation has so far killed 193 medical workers, destroyed 45 ambulances, targeted 120 medical institutions, and put 18 hospitals and 40 medical centers out of service through the brutal policies it has imposed on the Palestinian people.
