The U.S. urged Israel not to make the first move on Lebanon (Hezbollah).

If the Israelis did that, the U.S. "would find it difficult to support an operation in Gaza that involves widespread harm to civilians and the risk of Egyptian sovereignty."

Colombian Foreign Minister Alvaro Leyva called on Israeli Ambassador Gali Dagan to apologize for his remarks against the Colombian president and leave the country.

“An important milestone in the history of world diplomacy will be the senseless arrogance of the Israeli ambassador to Colombia towards the President of the Republic Gustavo Petro. It’s a shame. At least ask for forgiveness and leave.”

The verbal battle on social networks between Petro and Dagan arose after the Colombian president came out in support of the Palestinians and accused Israel of using scorched earth tactics in the Gaza Strip.

Dagan responded by ridiculing Petro’s statements.

The Colombian president himself commented on the situation as follows:

“If it is necessary to suspend diplomatic relations with Israel, we will suspend them. We do not support genocide.”

Hamas:

There are 6,000 male and female prisoners in Israeli prisons that we want them freed in exchange for Israeli captives.
