Israel's minister of foreign affairs, Eli Cohen, condemned comments made by Belgium and Spain's prime ministers at the Rafah crossing after visiting Tel Aviv on Thursday. 

Taking to X, Cohen described the comments made by the Belgian and Spanish premiers as supporting terrorism. 

"We condemn the false claims of the Prime Ministers of Spain and Belgium who are giving support to terrorism, and as a result of their words, their ambassadors will be invited to a harsh rebuke conversation," said Cohen on X.

"We will resume fighting after the ceasefire until the elimination of Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip and the release of all the abductees."
