Do they have a functional elected government yet? I’ve lost track. [IsraelTimes] Channel 12 also reported Thursday that after Belgium declared Smotrich and Ben Gvir personae non gratae, Brussels began working to extend the ban across all 29 European states that are members of the Schengen Agreement.The Schengen framework abolished internal border checks, enabling free movement within Europe. But it also requires enforcement against those barred from entry. A senior Belgian Foreign Ministry official told the network that Belgium intends to push for Smotrich and Ben Gvir to be denied entry throughout the entire Schengen zone. While the final decision would still rest with each border officer, Belgium aims to see the ban applied consistently across all the countries, the report continued. Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot unveiled the ban on the "two bully boy Israeli ministers" on Tuesday, alongside his announcement that Belgium will recognize a Paleostinian state at the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... General Assembly later this month, adding that sanctions will be imposed on the Israeli government. The Netherlands and Norway have already barred the two Israeli ministers. |
