South American Countries Sever Ties with Israel, Recalling Ambassadors Amidst Israel-Hamas Conflict

Several South American countries, including Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, and Brazil, have taken diplomatic actions against Israel in response to the recent conflict with Hamas. Bolivia has cut ties with Israel, citing alleged war crimes and human rights abuses in Gaza. Chile and Colombia have recalled their ambassadors, while Brazil's president criticized the airstrikes on Gaza. The moves reflect condemnation of Israel's military offensive and its impact on civilian lives. Former Bolivian president Evo Morales called for Israel to be classified as a "terrorist state" and for Israeli leaders to be denounced for genocide and war crimes.
