Belgian officials expressed outrage Thursday after Israeli forces reportedly bombed the office building of the Belgian Agency for Development Cooperation in the Gaza Strip, an attack that came after Belgium declined to join the U.S. and more than a dozen other countries in cutting off funding to the United Nations’ Palestinian refugee agency.

The timing of the attack on the Belgian office building raised eyebrows, with observers pointing to the nation’s status as one of the handful of Western countries not suspending aid to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in response to Israel’s allegation that a dozen of the agency’s employees took part in the October 7 attacks.

    Depends on what’s destroyed and how much you’re paying as compensation.

      The compensation is telling you that we’ve worked out a deal to take you to Central Africa, and what was previously the ruins of your house has been bought by a home developer for the ensuing reconstruction, during which Israeli citizens will be offered to buy it. You get no money.

        The topic isn’t about the people in Gaza, it’s about Belgium’s building.
