Colombia Withdraws Support for South Africa's ICJ Genocide Case Against Israel
Colombia has informed the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague that it is withdrawing its support for the genocide lawsuit filed by South Africa against Israel concerning the war in Gaza. This decision marks a significant shift in Colombia's stance towards Israel under its new president, Gustavo Petro.
President Petro has recently implemented several policy changes regarding Israel. He previously lifted a ban on coal exports to Israel and has announced the resumption of diplomatic relations. Furthermore, Petro has stated his intention to move Colombia's embassy to Jerusalem.
These actions signal a broader recalibration of Colombia's foreign policy and its relationship with Israel, moving away from the previous administration's more critical approach.
