TL;DR Summary

Belgium has reaffirmed its full support for the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the case against Israel's military campaign in Gaza, with the government stating it will back the ICJ's decision. This position reflects Belgium's historical solidarity with Palestine while also supporting Israel, and is influenced by the country's strong stance on international law and its own history of foreign occupation. The government's support for the ICJ is seen as limited by some, but large protests in Belgian cities have pressured the government to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. The upcoming elections in June could potentially shift Belgium's stance on the issue.
