Colombia has officially requested to withdraw from The Hague Group, an organization it co-chaired, citing the bloc's actions against Israel. Government spokesperson Miller Soto stated that the forum was established to "attack Israel" and that Colombia rejects this approach. The withdrawal was announced by Foreign Minister Omar Bula Escobar on October 16, 2026, the same day Colombia opened its embassy in Jerusalem. This move follows a political shift in Colombia, with the recent election of Abelardo de la Espriella, whose right-leaning government has taken several positive steps regarding Israel. The new president has recognized the Golan as Israeli sovereign territory, pledged to move the embassy to Jerusalem, and met with Foreign Minister Gideon Saar.
The decision to leave The Hague Group comes amid ongoing legal actions at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague. In recent years, the court issued arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, stemming from a lawsuit alleging "war crimes" during the recent Gaza conflict.
