A group of 30 countries announced a series of measures aimed at halting Israel’s attacks on Palestine and ending the “era of impunity” as they wrapped up a two-day summit in Bogotá. Those measures include banning arms sales to Israel and reviewing ties with companies that profit from the occupation of Palestine. But only 12 countries have agreed to implement the steps so far. Riyad Mansour, Palestinian ambassador to the U.N., called the Hague Group’s summit a “turning point.”

Riyad Mansour: “We are beginning the process in which will be a massive wave of countries, of civil society organizations, of companies, of individuals, of all who cherish international law and justice to start taking practical steps in order to force Israel to stop the genocide against our people, especially in the Gaza Strip.”

In related news, Brazil, a member of the Hague Group, recently confirmed to Al Jazeera it will soon announce it’s formally joining South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. This is Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira.

Mauro Vieira: “We made a huge effort to try to call for negotiations. And the developments, the last developments of the — of this war, made us take the decision to join South Africa at the ICJ.”
