    They use the word "will" a lot in that article and "caveats" a few times. So perhaps Belgium will make it to onto that list but with some caveats.

    The caveats seem to be around the administrative stuff, like setting up an embassy. Being afaict the first western country to put any noteworthy sanctions on Israel deserves a place at the top of the list, IMO.

    The Belgian foreign minister, however, said the recognition would only be formalised once the last captive has been released from Gaza and โ€œHamas no longer has any role in managing Palestineโ€.

    Those are caveats.

    Israel will face 12 sanctions from Belgium

    That's promising, but there is that word "will" again. So perhaps they "will" earn a place on that list but not yet.

    The corrupted socialist party have been surprisingly strong on the matter. The rest of them are willing to give lip service, but they don't care much about genocide victims.
