Colombia on Monday demanded that Israel's ambassador leave the South American country amid a worsening spat over President Gustavo Petro's remarks on the war with Hamas.

Foreign Minister Alvaro Leyva said the envoy, Gali Dagan, should "at a minimum, apologize and leave" after criticising Petro's comparison of Israeli attacks on Gaza with the Nazi persecution of the Jews.

Leyva lashed out on social media at the "rudeness" of Israel's response to Petro, adding: "Shame."

Petro, in one post on X, formerly Twitter, accused Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant of using language about the people of Gaza similar to what the "Nazis said of the Jews".

Israel launched a relentless bombing campaign on the Gaza Strip after Hamas fighters carried out a surprise attack on 7 October on Israeli bases and settlements, killing over 1,400 people, including soldiers.

Israel's bombardment of Gaza has killed at least 2,750 Palestinians, including over 1,000 children. The campaign has been slammed by UN experts for being on the verge of "mass ethnic cleansing".

Colombia's first leftist president asserted that "democratic peoples cannot allow Nazism to reestablish itself in international politics."

On Sunday, Israel, one of the main providers of arms to Colombia's military, said it was "halting security exports" to the South American country as the diplomatic feud escalated.

Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Lior Haiat said Colombia's ambassador, Margarita Manjarrez, had been summoned over Petro's "hostile and anti-Semitic statements".

The world now's sees the baby killers for who they are.

The president in fact told the Israeli ambassador: "GOD DOESN'T BOMB CHILDREN"

Everytime there's conflict, they kill innocent babies and women claiming to have eliminated or degraded Hamas.
And everytime, Hamas comes back stronger.

Their end is near.
Insha Allah.
