This is a shameful stain on Belgium. The prosecution of these religious figures (mohels), one of whom is American, is WRONG and won’t be tolerated. Belgium will be thought of now as anti Semitic by world. Until this is resolved - there is no way around it. The Trump Administration condemns this judicial action and also condemns the political inaction by the Belgium Government to find a solution with the beautiful Jewish communities here in Belgium. We call upon the Belgium Government to work with the Jewish leaders and communities to find a certification solution immediately. For the sake of Belgium’s reputation around the world, I hope the Belgian Government will act NOW. We will be making more announcements shortly following our meetings with the Belgium Government. @StateSEAS @DeputySecState @SecRubio










Belgium have just announced the indictment of the three Mohels who were investigated last year in Antwerp. With this act Belgium joins a short and shameful list, together with Ireland, of countries that use criminal law to prosecute Jews for practicing Judaism. This is a scarlet letter on Belgian society. The Brith Mila is the cornerstone of Jewish faith. Many countries in Europe and around the world have created legal frameworks to facilitate the brith and Jewish religion freedom in their countries. I call upon the Belgium government to act immediately and to find a solution.
