Belgium will always stand up for the respect of international law.”
We want to see concrete steps taken by Israel to cease the expansion of settlements to respond to extremist activity,
This opinion has addressed the aspiration of Indonesia and the rest of the international community in delivering justice for the Palestinians,
Indonesia invites the international community and the UN to jointly act on the advisory opinion and recognize the existence of the State of Palestine,
Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and the regime associated with them, have been established and are being maintained in violation of international law,
No aid. No assistance. No complicity. No money, no arms, no trade...no actions of any kind to support Israel's illegal occupation,
The Jewish nation cannot be an occupier in its own land,
A just and enduring peace will require the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people to self-determination to be realised,

The ICJ has no enforcement powers of its own, and it is now up to the international community – that is, governments – to pressure Israel to dismantle its apartheid regime and its illegal settlements, put an end to decades of systemic oppression, and restore justice for Palestinians,

These rulings mean nothing if third states and the international community fail to hold Israel accountable,

The ICJ has ruled that Israel’s occupation is unlawful and must end immediately. Third states must ensure the full and total realisation of the Palestinian people to self-determination and sanction Israel’s illegal occupation, which breaches international law,
The Nakba is where this all started. How can we not mention the cause of the issue and where this all started? This is not the right way to address an issue like this,
The Jewish people are not conquerors in their own land – not in our eternal capital Jerusalem and not in the land of our ancestors in Judea and Samaria.”
