PM Says Belize Still Supports Palestine

The Hague Group, formed on January thirty-first, 2025, is a coalition of nations dedicated to upholding the rulings of the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court regarding the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. However, Belize wasn’t listed as a member online, so the media asked about Belize’s current stance. The response was clear: Belize continues to support Palestine.

 

Prime Minister John Briceño

“I think we need to take a look at Belize’s stance when it comes to Palestine.  We have gone beyond the call of duty standing up for what is right. Whether we decided that we want to put a pause on diplomatic relations with Israel, we were hoping that then members in CARICOM and Central America joined us. Nobody did. We went and joined the South Africa case and again hoping that others would join us as a small country. We also rise with – our principles never change, our principles never waver. We also have to take a realistic look at what is happening around us. We continue to support Palestine, we will fight for Palestine. And so, that is our position at this time.”
