Delegates from over 30 countries gathered in Bogotá, Colombia, for an emergency summit led by the Hague Group, aiming to take concrete political, economic, and legal measures against Israel's military actions in Gaza.
The United Nations' special rapporteur for Gaza and the West Bank, Francesca Albanese, called for immediate global action, including sanctions and severing ties with Israel, to halt what she and many participants describe as genocide. The summit marks a significant break between much of the Global South and Western powers, particularly the United States, which has condemned the initiative. Participants include countries from Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, signaling a broad international push to enforce international law and end Israeli impunity.
The conference is expected to announce coordinated steps to pressure Israel and revive efforts for justice and peace in Palestine.
