Brussels - Saba:
Brussels, the Belgian capital, witnessed a protest against Sensco and OIP, a company owned by the Israeli arms company Elbit Systems, on charges of complicity in the genocide in the Gaza Strip.
The demonstration, held under the slogan "Stop arming Israel," saw protesters gather in front of the European Union Council building, holding signs reading "The European Union: Defend your values" and "Stop EU complicity." The demonstration coincided with a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels to discuss the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
The protesters accused Sensco of supplying spare parts for drones to Israel and demanded that the Belgian government impose sanctions on Israel.
Elbit Systems is a global company based in Haifa that specializes in the arms industry.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt the operation.
The genocide left more than 187,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing. Hundreds of thousands were displaced, and famine claimed the lives of many, including children, as well as widespread destruction.
