Colombia to end Israel ties over genocide in Palestine

President Gustavo Petro announced Colombia's diplomatic ties with Israel would end due to Israel's "genocidal" actions in Gaza, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Petro criticised the Gaza assault and emphasised solidarity with Palestine, stating that "if Palestine dies, humanity dies". Meanwhile, Israel responded by describing Petro as "anti-Semitic and hateful".
