Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Wednesday ordered the expulsion of Israel’s entire diplomatic mission after two Colombian nationals, Manuela Bedoya and Luna Barreto, were detained aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla while attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The flotilla, part of an international effort to break the blockade, was intercepted 150 nautical miles off the coast, which organisers described as a violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions.
Petro, writing on X, warned the incident would amount to “a new international crime by Benjamin Netanyahu” if confirmed, and announced the immediate termination of Colombia’s Free Trade Agreement with Israel.
