Colombia has emerged as one of the strongest governmental voices against the genocide in Gaza — breaking ties with Israel, backing South Africa’s ICJ case, and directly challenging US policy at the international level.
In response, Washington imposed sanctions on Colombian President Gustavo Petro and moved to isolate his government politically.

We discuss:
Why Colombia broke with Israel and supported the genocide case
Whether sanctions on Petro constitute political retaliation
The role of international law versus US power
Venezuela, Latin America, and the Global South response
What Palestinians and solidarity movements can do next
