Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced on Saturday that the nation will halt its coal exports to Israel.
In a statement posted on social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, he declared that the exports would cease “until the genocide is halted.”
A while ago, Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced his plans to cut diplomatic ties with Israel over its war in the Gaza Strip. This decision has drawn concern from human rights advocates and experts who fear it could amount to genocide.
Speaking at an event marking International Workers’ Day in Bogota, Petro emphasized the importance of countries not remaining passive in the face of the crisis unfolding in Gaza.
