🇸🇪🇮🇷 (EN/FR/NL) I met today with Vida Mehrannia, the wife of Dr Ahmadreza Djalali, who has been arbitrarily detained in Iran since 2016. It is a conversation that stays with you. Ten years of uncertainty, ten years of fighting for the person you love. The impact on her and her children is immense. Together with Sweden, Belgium continues to work for his case. We have raised it repeatedly and will keep doing so. No one should be used as a pawn by a regime. Belgium opposes arbitrary detention and the death penalty wherever they occur. We continue to advocate for a coordinated European approach against these unacceptable Iranian practices. ______________ J'ai rencontré aujourd'hui Vida Mehrannia, l'épouse du Dr Ahmadreza Djalali, arbitrairement détenu en Iran depuis 2016. C'est une conversation qui vous marque. Dix ans d'incertitude, dix ans de combat pour la personne qu'on aime. L'impact sur elle et sur ses enfants est immense. Avec la Suède, la Belgique continue à œuvrer pour son cas. Nous l'avons soulevé à de nombreuses reprises et nous continuerons à le faire. Personne ne devrait être utilisé comme monnaie d'échange par un régime. La Belgique s'oppose aux détentions arbitraires et à la peine de mort où qu'elles se produisent. Nous continuons à plaider pour une approche européenne coordonnée contre ces pratiques iraniennes inacceptables. ______________ Vandaag ontmoette ik Vida Mehrannia, de echtgenote van Dr. Ahmadreza Djalali, die sinds 2016 willekeurig wordt vastgehouden in Iran. Het is een gesprek dat bijblijft. Tien jaar onzekerheid, tien jaar vechten voor de persoon van wie je houdt. De impact op haar en haar kinderen is enorm. Samen met Zweden blijft België werken aan zijn zaak. We hebben die herhaaldelijk aangekaart en zullen dat blijven doen. Niemand zou door een regime als wisselgeld mogen worden gebruikt. België verzet zich tegen willekeurige opsluiting en de doodstraf, waar ze ook voorkomen. We blijven pleiten voor een gecoördineerde Europese aanpak tegen deze onaanvaardbare Iraanse praktijken. @BelgiumMFA @amnestyvl

"Op militair vlak staat de VS sterker, maar dit Iraanse regime houdt geen rekening met zijn bevolking en kan de harde lijn aanhouden." @vrancki in #terzaketv over mogelijke onderhandelingen tussen de VS en Iran.

Dikke chapeau @Riadh_B met de speciale @vrtnws #Laat waarin jullie vragen van kijkers beantwoorden. En ook nog eens onderstrepen hoe enorm goed @vrancki dit nu al maanden aan een stuk dag na dag brengt. Grote klasse.

Vereerd om de Ha van Humo te winnen! Ik draag dit op aan de 130 gedode collega-journalisten in Gaza en aan mijn eigen team. Grazie a tutti.

The vote by the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) against @UNRWA this evening is unprecedented and sets a dangerous precedent. It opposes the UN Charter and violates the State of Israel’s obligations under international law.  This is the latest in the ongoing campaign to discredit UNRWA and delegitimize its role towards providing human-development assistance and services to #Palestine Refugees. These bills will only deepen the suffering of Palestinians, especially in #Gaza where people have been going through more than a year of sheer hell. It ⁠will deprive over 650,000 girls & boys there from education, putting at risk an entire generation of children. These bills increase the suffering of the Palestinians & are nothing less than collective punishment. Putting an end to UNRWA & its services will not strip the Palestinians from their refugee status. That status is protected by another UN General Assembly resolution until a fair and lasting solution is found to the plight of the Palestinians. Failing to push back these bills will weaken our common multilateral mechanism established after World War 2. This should be a concern to all.

Thousands of people are trapped in Jabalia camp, north Gaza, as Israeli forces attack the area. “Nobody is allowed to get in or out, anyone who tries is getting shot,” says Sarah Vuylsteke, MSF project coordinator. Five of our staff are trapped in the camp, fearing for their lives. “We were staying at the Al-Yemen Al-Saeed Hospital, but they bombed it. About 20 people were killed. I don’t know what to do, at any moment we could die. People are starving. I am afraid to stay, and I am also afraid to leave,” says Haydar, MSF driver trapped in Jabalia camp. Israeli forces issued evacuation orders on 7 October in Jabalia camp while carrying out attacks at the same time, preventing people from leaving the area safely. Forced evacuations of homes and bombing of neighbourhoods by the Israeli forces is turning north Gaza into uninhabitable ruins. We call on the Israeli forces to halt forced displacements and to stop the all-out war on people in Gaza. Israeli forces must also ensure the protection of civilians and hospitals and allow desperately needed humanitarian supplies to enter the north as a matter of extreme urgency.
