"They (Zionists) claim this is not Nazi-like; killing 5,300 Palestinian boys and girls is a Nazi practice, despite the West's reluctance to acknowledge this truth," Petro posted on a social media platform.
Attached to the posting was video footage showing a residential area reduced to rubble by the Israeli airstrikes in Deir al-Balah.
Petro has repeatedly compared Zionists’ atrocious crimes against the Palestinians to Nazi practices in the first half of the past century.
The Colombian leader had previously drawn a parallel between Israeli airstrikes on Gaza and the "Nazi-like" attacks, pointing out that genocide in Gaza had been launched by the Apartheid regime in the Arab country.
Petro's remarks reflect the growing concern among the international community as the Israeli regime forces continue to mass kill the Palestinians with at least 16,000 civilians, mostly women and children, dead since Oct. 7.
After the Israeli regime launched its ethnic cleansing operation under the pretext of eradicating Resistance groups in Gaza, Petro voiced his solidarity with the Palestinian people in numerous messages posted on X.
The Colombian president has noted that the Zionists must stop their systematic attacks targeting the civilian population, urging the European Union to abide by international law and condemn Zionists' genocidal war on Gaza.
Petro has also stressed that basic needs for human survival such as water, food, fuel, and power, must be restored in Gaza, vowing to send humanitarian aid to the besieged strip.
In addition to the nonstop Israeli bombings, shelling, and direct ground attacks, the Zionist forces have cut off basic essentials needed in Gaza.
