Israel is demanding an apology from Belgium after revelations surfaced regarding a Belgium aid worker killed in an April 2024 strike in Gaza. The aid worker, an employee of a Belgium agency, was reportedly depicted in uniform and identified as a “mujahid” in a post on a channel linked to Hamas. This discovery has prompted Israeli officials to question the nature of the aid work being conducted in Gaza and the affiliations of those involved. Belgium had previously condemned the strike that resulted in the employee's death. Israel asserts that the presence of an individual with apparent ties to Hamas undermines the credibility of aid organizations operating in the region. The situation has strained relations between Israel and Belgium, with Israel seeking a formal apology and a review of Belgium’s oversight of aid workers in Gaza. The incident raises concerns about the potential diversion of aid resources to Hamas.
