Hamas has welcomed measures taken by the Hague Group coalition of “Global South” countries in the Colombian capital of Bogota earlier this week to pursue accountability for Israeli abuses in Gaza, including by stopping arms transfers, Al Jazeera reports.

The group said in a statement that the move represents a clear “expression of the free global conscience, rejecting war crimes and brutal violations” committed in the enclave, where a humanitarian tragedy is unfolding.

“We call on all countries of the world to take urgent action to form the widest international front to isolate the occupation, expose its crimes, and impose further punitive measures on it that will lead to the cessation of its aggression and crimes against innocent civilians, and enduring the ongoing genocidal war in the Gaza Strip.”

Hamas also asked demonstrators around the world to hold protests and form another “international solidarity movement” on Sunday.
