More than 20 countries are convening in Bogota next week to declare “concrete measures against Israel’s violations of international law”, diplomats told Middle East Eye.

The “emergency summit” is due to be held on 15-16 July, co-hosted by the governments of Colombia and South Africa as co-chairs of The Hague Group, to coordinate diplomatic and legal action to counter what they describe as “a climate of impunity” enabled by Israel and its powerful allies.

The founding members of the group included Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Honduras, Malaysia, Namibia, Senegal and South Africa.

States due to take part in the summit include Algeria, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, China, Cuba, Djibouti, Honduras, Indonesia, Ireland, Lebanon, Malaysia, Namibia, Nicaragua, Oman, Portugal, Spain, Qatar, Turkey, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Uruguay, and Palestine.

Spain doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the title. Pedro Sanchez has been consistently talking against Israel but supporting it materially, same shit with the NATO rearmament, he said Spain is not going to sign the agreement after literally signing the agreement.

I'd take out Ireland faster than Spain. Spain is not scott free but they put in quite some work.

Spain changed the NATO agreement before signing it to make it a useless promise instead of a hard goal.
