(Patria) - Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced on Saturday that his government will suspend coal exports to Israel as the war in the Gaza Strip continues.
"We will suspend coal exports to Israel until the genocide stops," the leftist president wrote on network X, AFP reported.
In May, Petro, who describes Israel's campaign in Gaza as "genocidal," announced that
Colombia would sever ties with Israel and open its embassy in Ramallah in the Palestinian territories.
He also said that Bogota would stop buying weapons produced by Israel, which is one of the main suppliers to the security forces of that South American country.
According to the Colombian government, the coal export ban will take effect five days after the decree is published in the official gazette and will not affect goods already approved for shipment.
