Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro has called for an urgent international summit aimed at promoting peace and an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East, specifically addressing the conflict between Israel and Iran, which also involves the United States and risks escalating into a nuclear war. Maduro delivered a letter proposing this global peace summit to world leaders, including Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping. The proposal has received support from the ALBA countries, which view the summit as a platform to help end hostilities in the region. Meanwhile, Colombia is hosting an emergency ministerial conference under the Hague Group to coordinate international actions against the Israeli military offensive in Gaza. The conference, attended by delegations from over 30 countries including Palestine, Brazil, Spain, Mexico, and China, seeks to address the situation in Gaza and call for measures to halt what participants describe as a genocide. The Colombian Foreign Ministry, co-presiding with South Africa, initiated the sessions at the Palacio de San Carlos in Bogotá. The executive secretary of the Hague Group, Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla, urged states to act against Israel's impunity and the complicity of other nations regarding the Gaza conflict. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil read Maduro's letter in solidarity with Palestine during the summit. The event has drawn international attention, with calls from various actors, including a UN rapporteur, for global action to stop the violence and alleged genocide in Gaza.
