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.
they have trade agreements with both egypt and jordan.

Okay as an Egyptian this is my first time hearing about this. Let’s make that “can’t trade much with their neighbors”.
