Wallonia bans transit of all arms towards Israel

Wallonia has issued a ban on the transit of all arms from its territory towards Israel, the region's Minister-President Elio Di Rupo (PS) confirmed to Le Soir. The decision followed an investigation by Belgium's francophone national news channel RTBF, as well as Le Soir and De Morgen, which revealed that 70 tonnes of munitions and explosives had transited via Liège airport to Israel since Hamas attack on 7 October. This was despite a commitment made in February by the Walloon government to prevent lethal weapons from passing via the region to the Jewish State. The media investigation revealed that a legal loophole had allowed arms transit to continue, with the military material sent from New York and stopping in Liège en route to Tel Aviv. Shipments were handled by Challenge Airlines, an airfreight logistics company which operates predominantly via transit hubs in Israel, Malta, and Belgium. The company's CEO, Yossi Shoukroun, is himself an Israeli national.Commenting on the details of the cargo, Wies De Graeve of Amnesty International in Flanders confirmed that the material was "military equipment from the US passing via the Israeli-American airfreight company Challenge". The airline was able to exploit a legal blind spot by transiting via Liège without transferring goods between aircraft. Until now, planes did not require a licence to make a short stop in Wallonia airports providing that cargoes were not moved from the aircraft. But on Monday, Di Rupo's office signed a ministerial decree forbidding all transit of arms towards Israel, regardless of whether the cargo leaves the aircraft or not.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide has released a statement saying that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and the United States is complicit. The statement was released in the aftermath of the horrific attack on a refugee camp in Rafah

In April, Lemkin also issued a genocide alert for the West Bank

May the zionist regime collapse, may peace and freedom come back to the region, and may the next children of its citizens look back in shame and disgust on the acts of their forefathers.

Biden sends $1 billion worth of arms to Israel.

The Biden administration has told lawmakers in Congress that it plans to send more than $1 billion worth of new weapons to the colonist state of Israel, according to multiple media reports. The shipment is said to include military vehicles, mortar rounds and tank shells, although the timing is not yet known.

This comes after the White House held back a single shipment of large bombs because of concerns that Israel's assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah would cause major civilian casualties. The Biden administration has claimed for months that it opposed a ground invasion of Rafah, but Israel recently pushed into the eastern part of the city and intensified its attacks, displacing half a million Palestinians who had been seeking refuge there — with little pushback from Biden.

The United States is Israel's largest weapons supplier.
