Colombian president Gustavo Petro said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will go down in history as a genocidaire, reports Al Jazeera.
The Colombian president, posting on X, said: “Mr Netanyahu, you will go down in history as a genocidaire. Dropping bombs on thousands of innocent children, women and elderly people does not make you a hero.”
He compared Netanyahu with the Nazis who killed millions of Jews in Europe and said that “a genocide is a genocide”, regardless of the religion of those killed.
Earlier, Netanyahu had called Petro “an anti-Semitic supporter of Hamas” after the Colombian leader called for the Israeli prime minister’s arrest over the killing of Palestinians in Gaza.
