Colombian president Gustavo Petro announced on Wednesday that the country will sever diplomatic ties with Israel over its handling of the Gaza war.
Speaking at a public event in the country, Petro assured that "humankind on the streets agrees with us: we can't go back to a time of genocide, to the extermination of a people before our eyes. If Palestine dies, humankind will die and we won't let it die," he said.
