Bolivian and Colombian presidents denounce Israeli crimes

Bolivian President Luis Arce called the attack a “violent act” and a “flagrant violation of international law and an affront to human dignity.” He urged the global community, multilateral organizations, and “free peoples of the world” to mobilize against what he described as “new brutality” carried out by the Netanyahu government.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro also accused "Israel" of committing a “new international crime,” stressing that activists, including Greta Thunberg and her companions, were detained unlawfully in international waters. Petro criticized US President Donald Trump’s so-called “peace plan,” describing it as a cover for policies that perpetuate Gaza’s starvation.
