An emergency ministerial conference convened by The Hague Group in Bogotá, Colombia, addressed Israel's actions in Palestine. Over 30 countries participated, discussing measures to stop what they termed a genocide. The conference, supported by organizations like Progressive International, faced U.S. opposition, with the State Department condemning the gathering and imposing sanctions on UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese. Albanese called for severing ties with Israel and imposing sanctions. Colombia's hosting is significant, given its previous decision to cut ties with Israel. The conference aimed to move beyond declarations and implement concrete actions.
