The Hague Group: A New Coalition to End the Israeli Occupation

Nine countries have formed an alliance under the name "The Hague Group", with the aim of working to end the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and support the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state.

Representatives from these nine countries—South Africa, Malaysia, Colombia, Bolivia, Cuba, Honduras, Namibia, Senegal, and Belize—announced the formation of the group during a conference held in The Hague, Netherlands.

The founding countries stated that the group’s work "will be based on the principles and objectives outlined in the United Nations Charter, as well as the responsibility of states to protect inalienable rights, foremost among them the right of peoples to self-determination."
