Colombian President Gustavo Petro again compared Israel to the Nazi regime, drawing a sharp response from Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon. "It's unclear what he took today," Danon said, according to Israeli media.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro has again compared Israel to the Nazi regime, and Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon responded bluntly: "It's unclear what he took today," according to Israeli media reports. The remark is the latest in a string of heated exchanges between Bogotá and Jerusalem. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Petro made a similar comparison during a speech at the UN Security Council, and Danon then accused him of fueling antisemitic discourse by invoking Hitler and Goebbels. The repeated comparisons come amid ongoing tensions between Israel and Colombia, which severed diplomatic ties in May 2024.
