UN rapporteur calls for global action to stop ‘genocide’ in Gaza
COLOMBIA, JUL 17 – Amnesty International calls on the European Union to suspend its trade deal with Israel over alleged war crimes in Gaza, where over 58,000 people have died, according to Hamas health officials.
- Colombia hosted the Hague Group meeting in Bogota on July 15 and 16 to coordinate legal and diplomatic actions against Israel's Gaza offensive.
- This meeting follows a deadly Hamas attack in October 2023 and escalating Israeli military operations that have killed over 58,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's health ministry.
- The eight-country bloc, mostly from the Global South, aims to pressure Israel by implementing arms embargoes, port restrictions, and enforcing ICC arrest warrants against Israeli officials.
- The UN special rapporteur called Gaza a 'genocide' and urged EU states to suspend all cooperation with Israel, while EU ministers debated possible sanctions but failed to adopt measures.
- The summit reflects rising global outrage over Israel's conduct and marks a push to uphold international law, though critics question whether participating countries can influence Israeli policy.
