Israel halts 'security exports' over Colombian 'anti-Semitism'

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has posted numerous comments on X, formerly Twitter, supporting the people of Gaza.

BOGOTA, Colombia — Israel, one of the main providers of arms to Colombia's military, said Sunday it was "halting security exports" to the South American country after taking umbrage at its president's remarks on the war with Hamas.

Commenting on Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announcing a "complete siege" of Gaza in a fight against "animals," Petro said: "This is what the Nazis said of the Jews." The president's statements were received with "astonishment," said the spokesman, and accused Petro of "expressing support for the atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists, fuelling anti-Semitism, affecting the representatives of the State of Israel and threatening the peace of the Jewish community in Colombia."

Colombia's armed forces, engaged in a decades-long conflict with leftist guerrillas, rightwing paramilitaries and drug cartels, uses Israeli arms and aircraft.
