Palestine: We welcome Colombia's decision to sever its relations with Israel

The Presidency welcomed the advanced and courageous positions taken by the friendly Republic of Colombia regarding stopping the ongoing genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, the latest of which was the announcement by Colombian President Gustavo Petro of his country’s decision to sever diplomatic relations with Israel, due to its grave violations of international law and international legitimacy.

The Presidency appreciated what was stated in President Petro’s speech, during which he referred to the necessity of respecting the values ​​of humanity, and said that “killing the Palestinian people means killing humanity,” stressing the fact that Palestine today embodies the absence of international humanitarian law, and the obstruction of international legitimacy by force of arms, and at the same time reminding That the countries of the world must stand up to their responsibilities and reject what is happening to humanity as a result of what the Palestinian people are exposed to.

The presidency renewed its call on the international community to take more decisive stances regarding the genocide crimes against the Palestinian people, and not to allow Israel to continue with its crimes and violations.
