Colombia was one of Israel’s largest coal suppliers.
Petro also announced the severing of diplomatic relations with Israel and cut off arms purchases from Israel earlier in the year.
Colombia also joined the genocide case against Israel brought forth by South Africa in the International Court of Justice
BREAKING: OFFICIAL HAMAS STATEMENT ON COLOMBIA
"We appreciate the statement made by Colombian President Gustavo Petro, in which he reaffirmed his country’s decision to prohibit the export of coal to the zionist entity and his statement, "Colombian coal is used to manufacture bombs that kill Palestinian children."
We express our gratitude for the brave stance of the Republic of Colombia in ending diplomatic relations with the zionist entity, in condemnation of the genocide that the zionist occupation is committing against our people in the Gaza Strip.
We call on all countries to sever their relations with this fascist entity, to work by all means to boycott, isolate, and impose sanctions on it, and to prosecute its leaders as war criminals in international courts."
