“On Friday the minister said no”: De Wever reacts ‘happy and surprised’ to federal support for the Jewish community in Antwerp

Now that the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate, federal support is coming to the Jewish community in Antwerp. Prime Minister Alexander De Croo (Open Vld) said this on Sunday in ‘De Zevende Dag’. “Federal reserve, intervention teams, specialized services? We look at what is most effective,” says De Croo. Antwerp mayor Bart De Wever (N-VA) is satisfied, but also surprised. “Last week, Minister Verlinden made it clear that the local police had to take on security assignments,” says his spokesperson.
