Former leftist Bolivian President Evo Morales called Sunday on his country's government to sever ties with "Israel" and declare it a "terrorist state" in light of the massacres it is committing in occupied Palestine and its continuous aggression on the Gaza Strip.

"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.

He recalled that after the US-backed November 2019 coup, Bolivia obeyed "the orders of the [US] empire" and restored its relations with the Israeli occupation.

Cuando llegamos al gobierno después de ganar las elecciones en diciembre de 2005, rompimos relaciones con #Israel por consecuencia con nuestros principios pacifistas y antiimperialistas.

"He who does not reject genocides is an accomplice. Such genocide cannot be accepted in Palestine. Israel should be declared a terrorist state," the former Bolivian leader stressed.

On X, he said he regrets that the statement of the Ministry "does not denounce with political coherence the true situation that the Palestinian people are going through."

This comes as the Israeli occupation continues its brutal aggression against the Gaza Strip, targeting civilian homes, hospitals, and places of worship and causing thousands of casualties amid a complete, stifling siege on the Strip.
