Thousands gathered in Brussels to protest what they describe as insufficient action from Belgium and other European governments regarding Israel’s military operations in Gaza. Demonstrators called for sanctions, criticized the ceasefire as ineffective, and urged authorities to prevent military equipment from reaching Israel.
