Fear, praise, and silence: Reactions to Trump's military gathering
U.S. President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's speeches at a rare gathering of U.S. military leaders on Tuesday was met with sharp criticism from Democrats, praise from Republicans but a muted response so far from military officials themselves.

Militairen op straat klinkt daadkrachtig, maar is in realiteit pover beleid. Veiligheid garandeer je niet door militairen tot goedkope bewakers te degraderen. Structurele investeringen in politie en justitie maken het land veiliger, niet symbolisch oplapwerk. #PersoonlijkeMening
Binnenkort agenten en militairen samen op straat in Brussel? Politie juicht ondersteuning toe, legervakbond twijfelt
Binnenkort agenten en militairen samen op straat in Brussel? Politie juicht ondersteuning toe, legervakbond twijfelt | VRT NWS: nieuws
Het voorstel van de Franstalige liberalen om zo snel mogelijk militairen in te zetten om de drugscriminaliteit in Brussel aan te pakken, lokt gemengde reacties uit. Jurgen De Landsheer, de korpschef van Brussel Zuid, hoopt dat militairen beveiligingsopdrachten kunnen overnemen van zijn agenten zodat zij zich op politiewerk kunnen focussen. Legervakbond ACMP heeft bedenkingen en wijst op het ontbreken van een juridisch kader.

Belgium will join the group of countries that will recognize the state of Palestine at this month’s U.N. General Assembly and will impose sanctions on Israel over the war in Gaza, Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot announced overnight.

Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot said the move would happen only after Hamas releases all Israeli hostages and no longer manages Palestine.
