Belgian Prime Miniser Charles Michel reaffirmed his country’s commitment to fighting anti-Semitism, during a meeting in Brussels with Israeli President Reuven Rivlin.

‘’We will fight anti-Semitism with all our strength. This is a shared struggle,” Michel said after their meeting.

"I had the opportunity to reiterate Belgium's obligations in the war against anti-Semitism," he continued. "We have zero tolerance towards anti-Semitic activity and we are fighting against it with all our might. It's a shared fight."

“We spoke about the fight against terror, which stands central to the efforts of our two peoples and of the whole world. We must improve the coordination between our intelligence organizations to ensure that we will succeed in preventing future attacks,” Michel said.

‘’It is imperative for the intelligence services of both countries to work in closer cooperation because in the long run they had the same goal,’’ the Belgian leader said.

Belgium is interested in deepening and strengthening its political and security dialogue with Israel, he added.

Rivlin said there is no doubt today of the connection between terrorism and anti-Semitism, but added that Islamic jihad does not target only people of Jewish faith but is directed against people of all faiths.

“Today we know that there is a link between anti-Semitism against Jews, and Jihadi terror that kills innocent people of all religions,” Rivlin said.

“We must not wait for anti-Semitism to become terror; we must fight it from the beginning, together, we must fight together against anti-Semitism,” Rivlin said.

He also said Israel views the Boycott-Divestment-Sanctions (BDS) movement as a modern form of anti-Semitism and believes its goal is to eliminate the Jewish state.
