Belgian unions refuse handling arms shipments to Israel

Belgian transport workers' unions on Tuesday called on their members to refuse to handle military equipment being sent to Israel to bomb Gaza. 

The ACV Puls, BTB, BBTK and ACV-Transcom unions said in a joint statement that airport workers have seen arms shipments.

"While a genocide is underway in Palestine, workers at various airports in Belgium are seeing arms shipments in the direction of the war zone," the statement said.
