- Belgian Asylum and Migration Minister Anneleen Van Bossuyt opposes allowing 13 Palestinian students from Gaza to come to Belgium, even though they hold scholarships and visas.
- Some of the students have waited two years, while the government has not yet made a decision.
Anneleen Van Bossuyt does not want 13 Palestinian students from Gaza to come to Belgium, even though they have scholarships and visas. The N-VA asylum and migration minister made her position clear during VRT NWS’ De zevende dag.
Some of the students have already been waiting for two years to reach Belgium. Despite that delay, the government does not appear to be in a hurry to decide whether they can enter the country to study.
Van Bossuyt also warned against forgetting what she described as a possible “domino effect.” The students’ request therefore remains unresolved, despite the arrangements already made for their studies and travel.
Do not forget the domino effect.
