ShanghaiEye魔都眼 Colombia will sever diplomatic relations with Israel on Thursday, said President Gustavo Petro on Wednesday.
Speaking to a crowd in the capital Bogota, the Colombian president referred to the Israeli government as "genocidal."
The president has heavily criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and requested to join South Africa's case accusing Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz denounced Colombia's decision.
"Relations between Israel and Colombia have always been warm, and no antisemitic and hate-filled president can change that," he said on X, formerly Twitter.
Colombia recalled its ambassador to Israel in October, a few days after Israel launched military operations in densely-populated areas in Gaza in response to Hamas attack.
According to Gaza's local health authorities, Israel has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians in a bombardment that has reduced much of the enclave to a wasteland.
