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.

"Diplomatic Outrage: Muslim Nations Protest Quran Violation in Sweden"

Muslim-majority nations, including Iraq, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, have summoned Swedish ambassadors and expressed anger over a controversial demonstration in Stockholm where a person stomped on the Quran. The Iraqi government ordered the expulsion of the Swedish ambassador, while Turkey threatened to block Sweden's ascension to NATO. Saudi Arabia criticized Swedish authorities for granting permits for the desecration, calling it a systematic provocation of Muslims. Iran warned Sweden of consequences for provoking Muslim sentiments. Protests against the desecration also erupted in Lebanon. The actions of the Iraqi refugee, protected by Sweden's free speech laws, have sparked a debate on whether such actions should be classified as hate speech.
