The call to sever ties was initially issued a week ago by Former leftist Bolivian President Evo Morales, who qualified the Israeli regime as a "terror state".

"When we came to power after winning the elections in September/December 2005, we severed our ties with Israel due to our pacifist and anti-imperialistic principles," Morales wrote on X.

Prior to this, relations were severed in 2009 due to Bolivia's opposition to "Israel's" military aggression in Gaza, known as Operation Cast Lead, which occurred in late 2008 and early 2009.

Under the leadership of then-President Evo Morales, Bolivia strongly criticized "Israel's" actions in Gaza, accusing it of human rights violations and acts of aggression against Palestinians.

In solidarity with the Palestinian people and due to these significant objections, Bolivia opted to cut off its diplomatic ties with "Israel."

This decision aligned with the stance adopted by several other Latin American nations during that period, as they also expressed their disapproval of "Israel's" military war crimes in Gaza.

These include Venezuela, Ecuador, and Nicaragua.
