Israel calls Bolivia’s decision to cut ties “a surrender to terrorism and to the Ayatollah’s regime in Iran.”

“By taking this step,” tweets ministry spokesman Lior Haiat, “the Bolivian government is aligning itself with the Hamas terrorist organization, which slaughtered over 1,400 Israelis and abducted 240 people, including children, women, babies and the elderly.”

Israel condemns Bolivia’s “support of terrorism,” Haiat continues, saying it attests “to the values the government of Bolivia represents.”

He adds that bilateral relations have been “devoid of content” anyway since the current government came into power.
