Colombia urges curbs on coal sales to Israel – report

Colombia’s trade ministry is recommending restrictions on coal sales to Israel, Bloomberg News says, citing an internal document and a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

The ministry is seeking limits on shipments of coal from a committee on tariffs and foreign trade, the report adds.

The outlet says Colombia is Israel’s biggest coal supplier, having sold it about $450 million of the fuel in 2023.

Last month, Colombian President Gustavo Petro said Bogota will cut diplomatic ties with Israel.
