Ex-Colombian President: Restoring Israeli Ties Applauds Gaza Genocide

August 23, 2026Carlos Mendoza1 мин

Ernesto Samper, a former president of Colombia, has strongly criticized the re-establishment of diplomatic relations with Israel. According to Samper, this move implicitly endorses the actions occurring in Gaza, which he characterizes as genocide.

The ex-president's remarks suggest a belief that normalizing ties with Israel, particularly in the current context, signifies approval of the humanitarian crisis and alleged atrocities in the Palestinian territory. He views the restoration of diplomatic relations not as a neutral act but as a tacit acceptance of the violence and devastation in Gaza.

This statement adds to the growing international debate surrounding Israel's actions in Gaza and the ethical implications for countries engaging with it diplomatically.
