Colombia has become the second country after the United States to officially recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, a move that has provoked a strong backlash from Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Foreign Ministry issued a formal statement condemning Colombia's decision, describing it as a violation of international law and calling on Bogotá to reverse its stance. Saudi Arabia emphasized that the recognition contradicts previous international resolutions, notably United Nations Security Council Resolution 497 from 1981, which declared Israel's application of its laws in the Golan Heights null and void.
The historic declaration followed a meeting between Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar and Colombia's newly elected President, Gustavo Petro's successor, signaling a significant policy shift from the previous Colombian administration. Despite Colombia's intent to strengthen ties with Israel, Saudi Arabia reiterated its position that the Golan Heights is "occupied Syrian Arab land" and warned that such recognitions undermine efforts toward regional peace and stability.
Saudi Arabia's statement expressed deep disappointment and urged Colombia to reconsider its decision, though Bogotá appears determined to pursue closer strategic relations with Israel. The diplomatic rift highlights ongoing tensions in the Middle East over the status of the Golan Heights and reflects broader geopolitical alignments.
