Belgium isn't exactly a big player in the EU but it's good that a senior minister of a Northern European country is pointing out Israels go to smear campaign move.
Belgian deputy prime minister (who is also the foreign minister) confirms today in a rebuke of the Israeli foreign minister that the Kingdom of Belgium has suspended all consular services to Belgian citizens who have chosen to live in occupied Palestinian territory as settlers.

I don't think "invading a country, kidnapping its President, then stealing its oil" is what I would call "diplomacy."

Chris Wright on seized Venezuelan oil: "We've sold about $1 billion of oil so far. We've recently signed agreements to sell about another $5 billion in the next several months. So you're talking well north of $10 billion a year ... this is way out of the box, groundbreaking Trump diplomacy."
