Previously, trade unions in Belgium have rejected arms exports to "Israel" in a reflection of the worldwide support the Palestinian cause has garnered since October 7.

There have been tensions between Israel and Belgium as Israel summoned the Belgian envoy in September 2023 following remarks made by Belgium’s Minister for International Development, Caroline Gennez. Gennez had alleged that "entire [Palestinian] villages are being wiped off the map by the Israelis.”
