Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot stated that his country is not currently considering closing its airspace to aircraft related to the conflict in the Middle East.
Speaking to a parliamentary committee, he stressed that "many planes do not pass through our country to provide military aid to the Gulf states ," according to RTBF reporting.
His statements come at a time when European countries are taking different approaches to the situation. Spain, for example, has decided to ground US aircraft linked to the conflict, reflecting opposition to recent US-Israeli strikes against Iran.
Meanwhile, the United States has criticized France for what it calls a lack of cooperation, although Paris has not officially confirmed any airspace restrictions.
In Belgium, the government's stance has prompted reactions from the opposition. MP Nabil Bouliki from the Workers' Party (PTB) called on the authorities to follow Spain's example.
He stated that "Belgium should follow Spain's example and close its airspace to American and Israeli aircraft involved in attacks on Iran ," adding that he would bring the issue back up for discussion with the relevant ministers.
