Abelardo de la Espriella, in a social media post marking the one-day anniversary of Colombia's election, asserted that a pro-Israel rightward shift is sweeping South America and highlighted his campaign pledge to move Colombia's embassy to Jerusalem, according to his post on Gplanet.
President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella posted a message on Wednesday morning, the day after Colombia's election, in which he declared that South America is undergoing a broad pro-Israel shift, moving from "progressive, antisemitic" leadership to a right-wing orientation. He specifically mentioned the embassy move to Jerusalem as a key milestone and said to expect more developments. The post also referenced an article published on Gplanet analyzing the continental trend. As The Zioneer reported Monday, de la Espriella's victory on June 22 was congratulated by Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar and U.S. President Donald Trump, and the new president has already pledged to restore ties severed by outgoing President Gustavo Petro. The post was published one day after the election, according to its timestamp. De la Espriella's inauguration date has not yet been set.
