Bolivia cuts ties with Israel, others recall envoys over Gaza

TEHRAN, Nov. 01 (MNA) – Bolivia said on Tuesday it had broken diplomatic ties with Tel Aviv because of its attacks on the Gaza Strip, while neighbors Colombia and Chile recalled their ambassadors to Tel Aviv for consultations.

The three South American nations lambasted the Israeli regime's attacks on Gaza and condemned the deaths of Palestinian citizens.

Bolivia decided to break diplomatic relations with the Israeli regime in repudiation and condemnation of the aggressive and disproportionate Israeli military offensive taking place in the Gaza Strip, Deputy Foreign Minister Freddy Mamani said at a press conference.

The three countries called for a ceasefire, with Bolivia and Chile pushing for the passage of humanitarian aid into the zone and blaming the Israeli regime for violating international law, Reuters reported.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro called the attacks a "massacre of the Palestinian people" in a post on the social media network X, formerly known as Twitter.
