Bolivia severs diplomatic ties with Israel, citing 'crimes against humanity'

Bolivia has severed diplomatic relations with Israel in protest over Tel Aviv's war on the besieged Gaza Strip. This comes after both Colombia and Chile withdrew their ambassadors from Israel, demanding an immediate ceasefire.

Bolivia’s government is breaking diplomatic ties with Israel, the Bolivian Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday, accusing Israel of committing crimes against humanity in its attacks on the Gaza Strip, Reuters reports.

Bolivia, in 2009, cut diplomatic ties with Israel in protest of its attacks on the Gaza Strip.

In 2020, the government of President Jeanine Anez re-established ties.
