Colombian President Reintroduces Coal to Israel
Colombia has decided to re-export coal to Israel after the previous leftist government suspended this export in protest against Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip. This comes after the inauguration of the new president, Gustavo Petro, who has promised to strengthen relations with Israel, acknowledged Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and announced plans to open an embassy in Jerusalem. Before the suspension, Colombia was the main supplier of coal to Israel, with exports reaching around $450 million in 2023. This decision is expected to boost relations between the two countries and reflect a shift in Colombia’s policies toward Israel.
