And so far there are no signs that the Belgium Prosecutor's office is giving any credence to Hind Rajab's petition. They released the two Israelis just a couple of hours after their detention, didn't they?

And please, don't drag the King of Belgium into this. He seems like a nice guy, and he has better things to do than to insert himself into frivolous petitions.
