Belgium: Heightened security likely near Israeli embassy in Brussels following clashes during May 29 protests

Authorities will likely maintain heightened security near the Israeli Embassy on Avenue de l'Observatoire in Brussels into at least early June following clashes that erupted near the facility during protests on May 28-29. Demonstrators gathered on both days to denounce recent Israeli military strikes on Rafah. The rallies ended in clashes between activists and law enforcement officers, with police deploying water cannons and tear gas to disperse the protesters. Further demonstrations and renewed clashes cannot be ruled out over the coming days.
