This was decided by a court in the Belgian capital Brussels, as the Belgian news agency Belga reports. In the event of violations, punishments of 50,000 euros are threatened. Previously, several non -governmental organizations had filed a lawsuit against the Flemish government.
Military goods from Antwerp used in the Gaza Strip
Specifically, the court dealt with a container with so -called bowling roller bearings in the port of Antwerp. Delivery was determined by the NGO information for an Israeli armaments company that uses such cone roller warehouses for the production of tanks and armored vehicles that the Israeli army uses in the Gaza Strip. The judges decided that the container must not leave the port “under no circumstances”.
