GOP Rep. Mario Diez-Balart slammed Colombian President Gustavo Petro for "supporting those who want to eliminate the state of Israel" and recalling that he was member of the M-19 guerrilla from the 1970s until it demobilized.
In a social media publication, Diaz-Balart added that Petro is "ignoring the atrocities committed by Hamas almost two years ago while the group keeps holding hostages and using Palestinians as human shields to justify their endless violence."
