Colombia's incoming government, led by President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella, announced Friday that it will withdraw its intervention in the lawsuit against Israel at the International Criminal Court (ICC). The announcement was confirmed by the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem and by the president-elect's office. The withdrawal will take effect only after de la Espriella is inaugurated in early August, according to reports from N12. The move follows a meeting between Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar and Colombia's incoming foreign minister, Omar Bula Escobar, in Washington on Thursday. As The Zioneer previously reported, de la Espriella, elected in June, has pledged to restore diplomatic ties with Israel and move Colombia's embassy to Jerusalem, reversing the policies of outgoing President Gustavo Petro.
