(Brussels Times) Federal migration centre Myria has called on the government to stop revoking the Belgian nationality of children of Palestinian descent born in Belgium.
This request follows a report published on Thursday by the national migration centre. Since the summer of 2023, dozens of children of Palestinian origin born in Belgium suddenly have had their Belgian nationality taken away.
It happened due to a change in the National Register by the civil registrar, prompted by a letter from the Immigration Office (DVZ).
Without reservation, the letters stated that these children have Palestinian nationality, and therefore instructed municipalities to revoke the Belgian nationality of these children.
