A Belgian politician establishes a coordination network for European MPs in defense of Palestine.

Belgian politician Malik Ben Ashour, who has played active roles in political life at both the federal parliament and local authorities, announced the establishment of a network to coordinate among European lawmakers to defend Palestine.

In his remarks, Ben Ashour presented his vision for his new initiative regarding Palestine, proudly expressing that he is "the son of a Tunisian immigrant, born and raised in the heart of Europe."

Ben Ashour noted that he faced the problem of "injustice" through the Palestinian cause, saying: "When I was a small child, I encountered images of young children killed by Israeli soldiers during the first intifada."

He mentioned that he was a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee during his time in parliament, focusing his work on the Palestinian issue.

He added: "The Palestinian cause is of central importance to all of us; it is a mirror for all democracies, a mirror for all humanity, revealing the issue of double standards."

Ben Ashour indicated that he has created a network of European parliamentarians around Palestine, stating: "I established a network to coordinate actions and gather sympathetic lawmakers for the Palestinian cause."

He emphasized the need for politicians to adopt this support and advocate for the Palestinian people more loudly and tangibly.

He expressed his regret over Europe's ineffectiveness and silence regarding the rights of the Palestinian people, noting that "it is impossible to impose sanctions on Israel."

Ben Ashour said he has thought about finding ways to change this situation in Europe and decided to start with legislators.

He concluded by saying: "We must be active in building peace in the Middle East. There can be no peace without justice."
