BOGOTÁ (Columbia), Aug 19 (Bernama-WAFA) -- Colombian President Gustavo Petro signed a presidential decree on Sunday banning coal exports to Israel, Palestinian News & Information Agency (WAFA) reported.
The Colombian president said that the ban on coal exports aims to put pressure on the Netanyahu government to end the war on Gaza.
In June, the Colombian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Tourism called for restrictions on coal sales to Israel.
Last May, the Colombian President announced the severing of diplomatic relations between his country and Israel, describing Netanyahu’s government as genocidal.
