Former President of Bolivia Evo Morales affirmed that the interim government of his country has asked a military help from the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) to fight the leftists there.

He pointed out that Bolivia doesn’t need any military intervention to solve its chronic problems.

He tweeted that the acting government urges the Zionist government of Israel to take part in fighting the left.

He went on to say that leaders of the military putsch are pro-violence as they don’t respect liberty, identity and dignity through introducing policies that embrace the military intervention that pides the citizens.

Morales stressed that any foreign forces couldn’t find solutions to Bolivia’s ideological crises.

He said that he and the leftist leaders belong to the culture of dialogue and peace.

The interim government in Bolivia announced in November that it is about to return diplomatic ties with Israel along with bolstering relationships with the United States of America.

Relationships between the USA and Bolivia had deteriorated significantly under Morales.

He stepped down on November 10 and fled to the neighboring Mexico where he lives as a refugee.

After two days of his escape, he announced that a coup took place in the country.

Bolivia saw a complicated political crisis after Morales won a fourth term in a row.

The demonstrators condemned the results of the presidential election and accused Morales of manipulating the results.

Morales, the ousted president of Bolivia, now lives in exile on a military base in Mexico City, where he says he spends much of the day taking calls from Bolivians pleading for his help.

More than 3,000 miles from his country, where politicians are threatening to have him arrested if he returns, Morales is still trying to carry on as the president who delivers for his constituents — in his eyes, the savior of Bolivia.

And yet, Morales seemed to acknowledge during an interview that his time in power — and his worldwide renown as Bolivia’s first Indigenous president — had come to an end.

After almost 14 years in power, he left the country with what he said was little more than the clothes on his back. He had run for a fourth term and declared himself the winner, but the election result was in dispute.

With protesters blocking the streets, and his police and military turning against him, he was spirited out of the country by a Mexican military plane and arrived in Mexico City on Nov. 12. It all happened so fast that he left behind his Bolivian passport.
