Ex-Colombian president: Restoring Israeli ties applauds Gaza genocide

Former Colombian President Gustavo Petro has stated that restoring diplomatic ties with Israel is equivalent to applauding the ongoing events in Gaza. Petro's remarks frame the act of re-establishing relations as a tacit endorsement of what he describes as a "genocide" occurring in Gaza. The article does not specify when these ties were restored or when Petro made this statement, nor does it provide details about the specific actions or decisions that led to the restoration of ties. The core of the report is Petro's strong condemnation of the potential or actual re-establishment of diplomatic relations between Colombia and Israel, linking it directly to his view of the situation in Gaza.
