Colombian President Gustavo Petro threatened today to sever relations with Israel if it does not comply with the UN Security Council resolution to cease fire in Gaza. Tel Aviv accused him of supporting Hamas and described this as “a disgrace on the forehead of his people.” Petro earlier accused Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.

The Security Council adopted, for the first time yesterday evening, a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza during the month of Ramadan. This comes as the occupation army continues its war on Gaza since the seventh of last October.
