Colombia threatens to break ties with Israel if it doesn't comply with a UN cease-fire resolution
Colombian President Gustavo Petro threatened to sever diplomatic relations with Israel unless it adheres to a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. Israel's Foreign Ministry responded by accusing Petro of supporting Hamas, which they blame for an attack on Israeli communities. Relations between Colombia and Israel have soured since Petro's election, with Colombia suspending military purchases and Israel halting defense cooperation. Colombia's defense capabilities may be at risk due to reliance on Israeli military technology and equipment.
Colombia Threatens to Break Ties with Israel if it Doesn’t Comply with a UN Cease
Colombian President Gustavo Petro has threatened to sever diplomatic ties with Israel if it does not comply with a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza. Petro, a long-time supporter of the Palestinian cause, has described Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide. Israel's Foreign Ministry responded by accusing Petro of supporting Hamas terrorists and criticized his stance as a disgrace to Colombians. The diplomatic rift marks a significant shift from the historically close military and commercial relations between the two nations. The deterioration in relations could impact Colombia's defense capabilities, which rely heavily on Israeli military equipment and technology.
Colombia extends cease-fire with FARC splinter group in bid to reduce rural violence
Colombia's government has extended a cease-fire with the FARC-EMC rebel group until July 15, as part of ongoing peace talks in Bogota aimed at reducing rural violence. The cease-fire requires rebels to cease attacks on civilians and not threaten community leaders. Despite a 2016 peace deal reducing homicides, violence persists in rural areas due to groups like FARC-EMC, the National Liberation Army, and the Gulf Clan. President Gustavo Petro's administration is pursuing peace talks with these groups under the 'Total Peace' plan, though critics argue cease-fires have not stopped attacks on civilians. Talks also include discussions on economic projects and sustainable development to transform rural areas.
