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.

This article is all quoting Pedro Sanchez, whom i told you has empty rhetoric, they signed the exact same deal as everyone else and are committed to the spending. This has been a huge scandal for some time already, Pedro Sanchez does the same thing as Trump basically, they try to create a narrative from pure rhetoric to hide the objective reality. This video covers this exact topic btw.

Ireland on the other hand has people hating Israel but its government is much more subservient to Israel allowing weapons transports etc.

Which is also exactly what Spain does lol even if Pedro Sanchez claims otherwise, it has been proved time after time.

The NATO deal did get adjusted however, and the wording was changed.

I have no doubt that Pedro Sanchez ,whose face is almost as slimy as Mark Rutte, is a chronic liar. However factually some stuff did get cancelled by Spain because their leftists threatened to collapse the government.

There's of course also the recent Israeli arms deal which they did purchase. So Spain doesn't get off scott free. Which is why I said "they are the best of Europe". It is a really low bar.
