Former leftist Bolivian President Evo Morales criticized the Israeli occupation government and the Bolivian Foreign Ministry’s stance regarding the ongoing situation.

On X, Morales 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. "

"From Bolivia we condemn the imperialist and colonial actions of the Israeli Zionist government," he expressed.

Lamentamos que el comunicado de la Cancillería boliviana no denuncie con coherencia política la verdadera situación que atraviesa el pueblo palestino.

On Saturday, the Bolivian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it was deeply concerned about the violence in the Gaza Strip between "Israel" and Palestine.

The statement regretted what it called the United Nation's inaction, adding that the international body has a responsibility to confront the problem.

On his part, Colombian President Gustavo Petro reminded the world of the forgotten Palestinian children, posting on X: "The only way for Israeli children to sleep in peace is for Palestinian children to sleep in peace. The only way for Palestinian children to sleep in peace is for Israeli children to sleep in peace. War will never achieve this, and it can only be achieved through a peace agreement ... These pictures are of Palestinian children who were killed by the illegal occupation of their lands."

La única manera para que los niños palestinos duerman en paz es que los niños israelíes duerman en paz.

He also insisted on the cessation of "Israel's" occupation of Palestine, posting on X: "The United Nations has issued resolutions with the overwhelming majority vote of the nations of the world requesting that Israel's occupation of Palestine cease and that the peace agreements, unknown today, remain in force. That is our position as the government of Colombia."

On its part, Venezuela's Foreign Ministry voiced "deep concern" over recent events in Gaza, emphasizing that the escalation of violence is the result of international failure to recognize Palestine's historical rights.

In a related context, Sudan said on Saturday it supported the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.

"Sudan renews its support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people in their independent state and calls for commitment to the decisions of the international legitimacy and the protection of innocent civilians," the Sudanese Foreign Ministry indicated in a statement.

It continued, "The decline in international concern with the Palestinian issue, including the absence of progress relating to the two-state solution, has led to continued violence and tensions in the region."

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood

The Israeli occupation woke up at dawn Saturday to a sudden and widespread attack launched by the Palestinian Resistance into Gaza Envelope settlements, successfully taking Israeli occupation forces and illegal settlers captive while causing hundreds of fatalities among them, under an Operation dubbed Al-Aqsa Flood, in a huge intelligence flop.

Hours after the start of the operation, Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed in a recorded statement that "Israel" is "at war", adding that Hamas initiated "a surprise attack."

Israeli media suggested that more than 300 Israelis had been killed and at least 1,100 wounded so far, while Channel 13 indicated that the number of Israeli deaths is "only the tip of the iceberg compared to the real number."

On its part, the Israeli occupation launched a new aggression against the Gaza Strip, conducting extensive air raids against residential buildings in the Strip that claimed the lives of 313 Palestinians so far, including 20 children.
