The Brussels City Council unanimously passed a motion on Monday evening to block public procurement of products from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, with the MR and N-VA parties abstaining.

The PTB party, which backed the majority motion, had proposed a motion to sever both economic and political ties until Israel “complies with international law.”

The council presented a more city-focused text, concerning its public procurement which incurs around €70 million in annual expenses for the capital’s central municipality.
