After videos emerged from the Israeli occupation's massacre of Deir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip, Colombian President Gustavo Petro dubbed "Israel's" crimes as "Nazi" in a new post on X.

In a quote post of the video from the Deir al-Balah massacre, Petro wrote: "They say this is not Nazis' [acts]. Even if the Western conscience does not like these facts, the extermination of 5,300 Palestinian boys and girls is Nazi, I repeat NAZI."

Dicen que esto no es de Nazis. Asi no le guste a la conciencia occidental estos hechos, el exterminio de 5.300 niños y niñas pañestinos es de Nazis, repito de NAZIS. https://t.co/BYlnSdiF0T

Earlier, on October 28, Petro said he fully supports the International Criminal Court investigating Israeli war crimes in Palestine, adding that "what is happening in Gaza are crimes against humanity."

Apoyo rotundamente que la Corte Penal Internacional investigue los crímenes de guerra en Palestina. Son crímenes contra la humanidad. https://t.co/1BkdujD1E9

Colombia and Chile both recalled their ambassadors from "Israel" earlier last month, as the Israeli occupation continues its policy of committing genocide in Gaza.

The Chilean government announced that it recalled its ambassador to "Israel" for consultations, citing the occupation's violation of human rights.

"Chile strongly condemns and observes with great concern... these military operations," the Latin American country's Foreign Ministry said in a statement, adding that the Israeli war on Gaza amounted to "collective punishment" of the Strip's civilian population.

The Chilean government also called for an immediate end to hostilities, and for humanitarian aid to be allowed to enter Gaza.

Petro also announced his country was recalling its ambassador to "Israel".

“If Israel does not stop the massacre of the Palestinian people, we cannot remain there,” Petro wrote on X.

He decidido llamar a consulta a nuestra embajadora en Israel. Si Israel no detiene la masacre del pueblo palestino no podemos estar allá.
