Israel's Reaction to Bolivia Cutting Diplomatic Relations: Submission to Terrorism and the Iranian Regime

Liore Hayat, spokesperson for the Israeli Foreign Ministry, stated shortly after the Bolivian government announced it was cutting diplomatic relations with Israel that Bolivia's action demonstrates its submission to terrorism and the Iranian regime. According to Arash Sigarachi, a correspondent for Voice of America in Israel, the Bolivian government cited 'protest against this country's attacks on Gaza' as the reason for severing ties with Israel. This announcement came following an Israeli military attack on the Palestinian refugee camp in Jabalia, Gaza. Meanwhile, the governments of Chile and Colombia recalled their ambassadors from Israel for what they termed 'consultation.' These countries have also criticized Israel's attacks on Gaza, which have targeted civilians. Israel claims that following this attack, one of the commanders of the Hamas militant group was killed. However, reports indicate that around 50 people were also killed in this attack. Israel has previously accused Hamas of using Palestinian civilians as human shields. According to Arash Sigarachi, on Wednesday, November 1, the spokesperson for the Israeli Foreign Ministry stated that Bolivia aligns itself with Hamas, which has killed 1,400 Israelis, including children and women. Liore Hayat's reference was to Hamas's attacks on southern Israel on October 7, which resulted in the deaths of 1,400 Israelis, most of whom were civilians.
