Brussels-Capital Region Minister-President Boris Dilliès has summoned the Regional Security Council (CORES) for an extraordinary session on Wednesday to gauge how a protracted Iran-Israel conflict could affect public safety and critical infrastructure such as airports, rail hubs and EU institutions.
CORES brings together the mayors of all 19 municipalities, federal and local police chiefs and the public prosecutor. The agenda reportedly includes contingency plans for a possible influx of evacuees, heightened airport policing, cyber-resilience of ticketing systems and coordination with neighbouring regions on crowd management at Brussels-South (Midi) station.

Amid these evolving dynamics, international travelers and expatriates may need up-to-date visa guidance. VisaHQ’s Belgium portal (https://www.visahq.com/belgium/) offers real-time advice on entry requirements, expedited document processing and emergency travel documentation, helping companies and families adjust plans quickly while authorities refine security protocols.
While no specific threat has been identified, officials say lessons from the 2016 Brussels terror attacks underscore the need for rapid information-sharing among mobility stakeholders. The council will also review staffing models for border-inspection posts if Schengen partners reinstate internal checks.
Businesses with headquarters in the capital should expect visible increases in patrols at commuter nodes and may face spot-checks on corporate shuttle services. Travel-security providers advise updating emergency-contact trees and ensuring expatriate families are registered with local embassies.
