Country’s leftwing government attributes decision to alleged war crimes and human rights abuses being committed in Gaza
Bolivia has become the first country to cut ties with Israel since the start of its latest conflict with Hamas, with the South American nation’s leftwing government attributing its decision to alleged war crimes and human rights abuses being committed in the Gaza Strip.
The decision was announced at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon by María Nela Prada, a minister in President Luis Arce’s administration. “We demand an end to the attacks on the Gaza Strip which have so far claimed thousands of civilian lives and caused the forced displacement of Palestinians,” the minister told reporters in her country’s de facto capital, La Paz.
