Colombia’s government has banned coal export to Israel, with a decree signed by the country’s president and several ministers coming into effect within five days.
“Colombian coal is used to make bombs to kill Palestinian children,” President Gustavo Petro said on X.
Colombia, which exports 5 percent of its total coal production to Israel, had also suspended diplomatic relations with the country in May.
