Ministerial delegates from over 30 nations gathered in Bogotá, Colombia, for a two-day summit to discuss measures for the international community to stop Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

“Each state must immediately review and suspend all ties with the State of Israel … and ensure its private sector does the same,” UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, said on Tuesday. “The Israeli economy is structured to sustain the occupation that has now turned genocidal.”
