Belgium’s foreign minister has summoned the Israeli ambassador citing Israel’s announced plan to occupy Gaza City and take military control of the Gaza Strip, Reuters reports.

In a statement, the ministry said Belgium wanted to “express [its] total disapproval of this decision, but also of the continued colonisation… and the desire to annexe the West Bank,” adding that it will “vigorously advocate” for a reversal of this decision.

“Following the official confirmation by the Israeli government of its intention to encircle and then occupy Gaza City and take military control of the entire Gaza Strip, Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot has decided to summon the Israeli Ambassador,” it said.
