Netanyahu to travel to Colombia for new president’s inauguration

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to travel to Colombia early next month for the inauguration of President Iván Duque Márquez.

This will be Netanyahu’s second trip to the South American state in less than a year.

On September 14, 2017, Netanyahu spent three hours in Bogota, meeting with outgoing president Juan Manuel Santos. Colombia has been one of Israel’s closest friends in Latin America.
