The regional Government of Wallonia in southern Belgium has suspended two arms export licences to Israel, local media reported.
Four NGOs, including Amnesty International, wrote a letter calling on Wallonia's Minister-President Elio Di Rupo to stop arms exports or face legal action.
In response, Di Rupo temporarily suspended the export licences, citing "the unacceptable deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip" and the International Court of Justice's recent decision ordering Israel to avoid genocide in Gaza.
