Colombian President Gustavo Petro has announced plans to cut diplomatic ties with Israel for the genocide it is committing in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

Speaking to a crowd marking International Workers\u2019 Day in Bogota yesterday, Petro said countries cannot be passive in the face of the crisis unfolding in Gaza.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a word that vindicates the necessity of life, rebellion, raised flags and resistance. That word is called \u201cGAZA!\u201d I hereby inform you that tomorrow, DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS with ISRAEL will be BROKEN…for having a president who is genocidal,\u201d Petro said.<\/p>\n

A left-wing leader who came to power in 2022, Petro is considered part of a progressive wave known as the \u201cpink tide\u201d in Latin America. He has been one of the region\u2019s most vocal critics of Israel since the start of the Gaza war.<\/p>\n

In October, just days after the conflict began, Israel said it was \u201chalting security exports\u201d to Colombia after Petro accused Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant of using language similar to what the \u201cNazis said of the Jews\u201d.<\/p>\n

Gallant said the country was fighting \u201chuman animals\u201d in Gaza, as he ordered a total siege of the territory following the deadly attacks on southern Israel on October 7.<\/p>\n

A month later, Petro accused Israel of committing \u201cgenocide\u201d in the besieged Palestinian enclave, drawing more ire from Israeli officials and pro-Israel advocacy groups.<\/p>\n

BRAVO COLOMBIA!!!<\/p>\n

ALL STATES MUST FOLLOW THIS ASTOUNDING EXAMPLE!!<\/p>\n

English Script:
\nGustavo Petro: Tomorrow, diplomatic relations with Israel will be broken. Because of them having a government, having a genocidal president. I believe that today, all of humanity in the streets by the millions, agrees with us, and we agree with them. It cannot be the times of genocide, of the extermination of an entire people cannot return before our eyes, before our passivity. If Palestine dies, humanity dies, and we will not let it die, as we will not let humanity die.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
