Belgium

Belgium is currently facing several significant challenges. A synagogue in Liège was recently targeted in an explosive attack claimed by a new terror group, Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya, suspected of having ties to Iran, raising concerns about rising antisemitism and potential Iranian influence in Europe. Furthermore, a senior judge has warned that Belgium is at risk of becoming a "narco-state" due to international drug crime, particularly through the port of Antwerp, where mafia groups are gaining influence. Adding to these issues, Belgian prosecutors have detained three suspected leaders of the Ambazonia Defence Forces, a separatist group from Cameroon, as part of a probe into possible war crimes and crimes against humanity. These events highlight Belgium's vulnerability to both international terrorism, organized crime, and its role in international justice.
