US House candidate and anti-Zionist activist focus holiday gathering on 'complicity' in alleged Israeli crimes The post NYC’s Lander, Mahmoud Khalil accuse Israel of ‘genocide’ at Yom Kippur service appeared first on The Times of Israel .
On Tuesday, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) announced that Colombia has withdrawn its support for a genocide case against Israel. The court's statement revealed that Colombia's government "decided to withdraw the Declaration of intervention that it had filed… on 5 April 2024 in the case concerning Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip."
This move comes as part of a broader effort to mend relations with Israel and its main supporter, the United States, in an attempt to satisfy the political preferences of Colombia's Evangelical Christian base.
Former President Gustavo Petro played a significant role in diplomatic efforts to isolate Israel and seek justice for its victims through the world court in response to the ongoing genocide in Palestine. The US government responded by adding Petro to a blacklist and actively campaigning for the election of his successor, then-President Abdoelardo De la Espriella, in order to prevent another leftist victory in recent elections.
Following his inauguration in August, De la Espriella swiftly restored diplomatic ties with Israel and lifted a ban on coal exports to the country in West Asia.
