Colombian President Gustavo Petro sharply criticised Israel on Wednesday, comparing it to a Nazi regime over its military campaign in Gaza.
Speaking during a meeting at the UN Security Council, Petro said tens of thousands of people had been killed in Gaza by Israeli missiles.
“They rain missiles on people, even children.”
“These numbers cannot be hidden, and no political or economic interest can conceal this reality.”
Petro added that “the real common denominator of what I am saying here is that we are returning to the Nazi era”, according to the Hebrew-language news website Walla.
