Colombia announces it is also recalling its ambassador to Israel for consultations.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses Israel of carrying out a “massacre” of Palestinians amid the war in Gaza against Hamas that his country cannot abide.

Earlier this month, Colombia demanded that the Israeli ambassador leave Bogota, after Israel announced it was halting security exports to the South American country over Petro’s comparison of Israeli actions in Gaza to Nazi Germany’s genocide of Jews during World War II.
