Foreign Minister Israel Katz blasts Colombian President Petro Gustavo’s call yesterday for countries to cut off diplomatic ties with Israel if it doesn’t comply with the UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire.
Katz tweets that Gustavo’s support for “the Hamas murderers who carried out terrible acts of slaughter and sexual crimes against babies, women, and adults is a disgrace to the Colombian people.”
“Israel will continue to defend its citizens and will not give in to any pressure or threats,” he declares.
