Last week Belgium’s King Philippe joined Muslim family at a traditional Ramadan iftar table and broke the fast with them.
“This is a very honoruable event for which we are very grateful,” says Khalid Benhaddou, one of eight sons in the family who opened their bungalow in the Evergem neighbourhood at the edge of the Port of Ghent.
King Philippe joined three generations of family for the event, which Benhaddou views as “a sign of togetherness and commitment.”
