Colombia is set to break diplomatic relations with Israel over its actions in Gaza.
Speaking to a crowd in the capital Bogotá on Wednesday, Colombian President Gustavo Petro said that the country "will break diplomatic relations with the state of Israel" on Thursday, calling its government "genocidal."
"If Palestine dies, humanity dies, and we are not going to let it die," he said.
