Chilean President Gabriel Boric said on Tuesday the country was recalling its ambassador to Israel for consultations, citing Israeli “violations of international humanitarian law” in the Gaza Strip, Reuters reported.
"Chile strongly condemns and observes with great concern... these military operations," Boric wrote in a post on social media platform X.
Shortly thereafter, Colombian President Gustavo Petro said on X that his country has recalled its ambassador to Israel over its war in Gaza.
"I have decided to recall our ambassador to Israel. If Israel does not stop the massacre of the Palestinian people we cannot stay there," he wrote.
Earlier on Tuesday, Bolivia's government said it had broken diplomatic ties with Israel and accused Israel of committing crimes against humanity in its attacks on the Gaza Strip.
Bolivia "has decided to break diplomatic relations with the Israeli state in repudiation and condemnation of the aggressive and disproportionate Israeli military offensive taking place in the Gaza Strip," Deputy Foreign Minister Freddy Mamani announced at a press conference, according to Reuters.
Mamani added that Bolivia was calling for a ceasefire and an end to "the blockade that prevents the entry of food, water and other essential elements for life."
Former Bolivian President Evo Morales cut ties with Israel in 2009, in the wake of Operation Cast Lead in Gaza. In 2014, he renounced a visa exemption agreement with Israel in protest over Operation Protective Edge in Gaza.
In 2019, weeks after Morales resigned as President, Bolivia announced it would renew ties with Israel.
