The Colombian government, led by President Abelardo de la Espriella, has formally requested to withdraw as a member and co-chair of the Hague Group. Foreign Minister Omar Bula stated that the decision stems from the administration's view that the group’s initiatives are intended to isolate Israel. The move marks a significant shift in Colombia's diplomatic stance toward the international bloc.

Concurrent with this withdrawal, Foreign Minister Bula Escobar traveled to Israel on October 13, 2026, for an official visit. The trip includes the inauguration of a new Colombian embassy in Jerusalem and high-level meetings aimed at strengthening bilateral relations, a development characterized by the Israeli ambassador to Colombia as a sign of deepening friendship between the two nations.
