Spain joins The Hague group of 34 nations to end Israel's impunity

The Spanish government has decided to join the 34-nation coalition, known as "The Hague Group," led by South Africa and Colombia, with the aim of imposing new economic sanctions and ending Israel's impunity for its attacks on Gaza.

This decision came during the meetings of the United Nations General Assembly, where Madrid also announced its participation in the donor group tasked with funding the Palestinian Authority, alongside countries such as France and the United Kingdom.

A statement from the group emphasized that "the choice for every government is clear: either complicity or adherence to international law," adding, "History will judge us not by our words, but by our actions," according to the Spanish newspaper La Razón.

The announcement coincided with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the General Assembly, which was met with a collective protest as dozens of delegations walked out in disapproval, amid boos, in response to the Israeli offensive that has killed more than 67,000 people, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
