  • Jews in Belgium look forward to the change as they are united in their concern for Israel's security and hostages' fate.

The article from MSN discusses the implications of Belgium's newly formed government for the Jewish community and Israel. Belgium, known for its complex political landscape, has finally established a government after a period of political uncertainty. The new coalition, led by Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, includes parties with varying stances on Israel and Middle Eastern policy. Notably, the Flemish nationalist party N-VA, which has been critical of Israel in the past, is part of this coalition. However, the government's approach seems to be one of balance, aiming to maintain Belgium's role as a mediator in international conflicts. For the Jewish community, this means a continuation of the status quo with assurances of security and anti-Semitism measures, although there are concerns about potential shifts in foreign policy towards Israel. The government has promised to uphold Belgium's commitment to human rights and international law, which could influence its stance on issues like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Overall, while there is cautious optimism, the Jewish community and supporters of Israel are watching closely to see how these policies will unfold in practice.
