The opportunity to address the major surges in violence in the Middle East, and whether they have an impact in Belgium. “We have fears even if we have no signs that an attack is going to be committed, but terrorist cells have been dismantled. Our services are vigilant.”
Before continuing. “We have a problem in Belgium: we thought that the terrorist threat was behind us but it is still there. This caused personnel problems. Security is there but it is on its knees. We must not imagine that the Islamist terrorist threat is behind us today.”

For the politician, the recent attack in France is no coincidence. “There is a connection. Our intelligence services know that there will be more or less serious impacts in Europe, taking into account a deteriorating situation in the Middle East.
The federal deputy also criticizes the posture of the PTB. “I want us to sanction the apology for terrorism. I am targeting the PTB and Raoul Hedebouw, who said that there is a right of resistance for the Palestinian people. While Hamas is a terrorist group. He minimizes and justifies all this […]. The approach of the PTB, which is making its electoral profit from this conflict, is totally unworthy, abject and repugnant.”
For his part, the former federal minister assures that he does not take a position in this war. “When civilians die in a conflict, we condemn. It is not a question of explicitly condemning one camp rather than another”.
Before concluding. “We must distinguish the Palestinians from Hamas. Hamas is a terrorist movement, and we should have no scruples at this level. We must understand Israel, which defends its territory and protects its citizens.”
