In a surprising political move, and at a time when Colombia was reeling from the aftermath of a devastating earthquake that left more than 132 dead, the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, making it the second country in the world to take this step after the United States.

His leftist predecessor, Gustavo Petro, had severed diplomatic relations with Israel and halted arms imports from the country in protest of its operations in Gaza... Such is politics: interests first!
