Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced that all Israeli diplomats in the country would be expelled following Israel's attack on the Global Sumud Fleet. Petro stated that, following this decision, the free trade agreement with Israel would also be terminated.

Colombian President Petro stated on the social media platform of the US-based X company, following Israel's attack on the Global Sumud Fleet, that all Israeli diplomats in Colombia would be expelled from the country.

"THE TRADE AGREEMENT WILL BE IMMEDIATELY TERMINATED"

President Petro said, "If the information we have is correct, this means another international crime committed by (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu. The free trade agreement with Israel will be immediately terminated. All Israeli diplomatic personnel in Colombia will be expelled."

"HITLER CONTINUES TO LIVE IN WORLD POLITICS"

Targeting Netanyahu with harsh words, Petro stated, "The philosopher Hannah Arendt, who analyzed totalitarianism, said in the 1950s that the Nazis were still alive. Hitler continues to live in world politics. Arendt was right. I hope the peoples are not drugged."

THERE ARE 2 COLOMBIAN CITIZENS IN THE SUMUD FLEET

According to Colombian media, it is reported that President Petro made this decision due to the attack on the Global Sumud Fleet, which was heading towards Gaza to break the Israeli blockade and deliver humanitarian aid, and because there are 2 Colombian citizens among them.
