أَقَرَّ مَجْلِسُ الْوُزَرَاءِ الْبَلْجِيكِيُّ، يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ ١٨ يُولْيُو ٢٠٢٦، مَشْرُوعَ مَرْسُومٍ مَلَكِيٍّ. يَهْدِفُ الْمَشْرُوعُ إِلَى مَنْعِ بَضَائِعِ الْمُسْتَوْطَنَاتِ الْإِسْرَائِيلِيَّةِ مِنَ الدُّخُولِ إِلَى بَلْجِيكَا. وَيَخُصُّ الْمَشْرُوعُ الْأَرْضَ الْفِلَسْطِينِيَّةَ الْمُحْتَلَّةَ. وَتَقَعُ الْمُسْتَوْطَنَاتُ الْمَقْصُودَةُ فِي الضِّفَّةِ الْغَرْبِيَّةِ، وَمِنْهَا الْقُدْسُ الشَّرْقِيُّ.
سَتَحْتَاجُ هٰذِهِ الْبَضَائِعُ إِلَى إِذْنٍ قَبْلَ دُخُولِهَا. وَسَتَرْفُضُ السُّلُطَاتُ الْإِذْنَ إِذَا كَانَتِ الْبَضَائِعُ مِنْ مُسْتَوْطَنَةٍ. وَلٰكِنَّ الْمَشْرُوعَ يَسْتَثْنِي التُّجَّارَ الْفِلَسْطِينِيِّينَ وَالْمُسَاعَدَاتِ الْإِنْسَانِيَّةَ. وَفِيهِ مُدَّةٌ انْتِقَالِيَّةٌ قَدْرُهَا ١٢٠ يَوْمًا. وَأَرْسَلَتِ الْحُكُومَةُ الْمَشْرُوعَ إِلَى مَجْلِسِ الدَّوْلَةِ لِلرَّأْيِ. لِذٰلِكَ، لَمْ يَدْخُلِ الْقَرَارُ حَيِّزَ التَّنْفِيذِ بَعْدُ.

Belgium Approves Draft Measure to Block Settlement Goods
Belgium’s Council of Ministers approved a draft royal decree on Saturday, July 18, 2026. The draft aims to prevent goods from Israeli settlements from entering Belgium. It concerns the occupied Palestinian territory. The settlements in question are in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
These goods will need authorization before entering the country. The authorities will refuse authorization if the goods come from a settlement. However, the draft exempts Palestinian businesses and humanitarian assistance. It provides a transitional period of 120 days. The government sent the draft to the Council of State for its opinion. Therefore, the measure has not yet entered into force.
