2024: Severing diplomatic relations with Israel over Palestinian genocide
During a speech at the May Day demonstration in 2024, Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced that since May 2, the country has been severing diplomatic relations with Israel due to the fact that the government and president of this country are committing genocide. He also stated that "if Palestine dies, then humanity will also die."
The rupture of diplomatic relations was expected back in March - Petro promised to do this if Israel did not obey the UN resolution on a ceasefire.
Earlier, in the fall of 2023, Petro said that "Israel is copying Auschwitz in Gaza," called the actions of his authorities against the Palestinians "apartheid" and openly supported Palestine. The Israeli authorities in response decided to immediately stop the export of weapons and technologies related to ensuring security for Colombia.
