Colombia bans coal exports to 'Israel' over the ongoing Gaza genocide
The decree signed by President Petro was published on the presidential website on August 14.
As "Israel" continues its genocide in Gaza for almost 11 months, Colombia's President Gustavo Petro has signed a decree earlier this week, officially banning coal exports to the occupation entity.
The decree, dated August 14 was published on the presidential website.
Last May, the Colombian President announced cutting ties with "Israel" for having a "genocidal" president".
Petro later announced in June the suspension of coal exports to the occupation entity.
In a social media post then, he stated that exports would cease "until the genocide is stopped."

Why is Israel in quotes? I thought it was a translation artifact at first, but no other country in the article is in quotes.
That said, good on Colombia.
Almaydeen is based (in Lebanon) and doesn't recognize isnotreal as a country.

Personally I prefer the so-called state of Israel or the Zionist Entity, but quotes get the message across I think.
