BOGOTA, December 3, 2023 (WAFA) – Colombian President Gustavo Petro has described Israeli airstrikes on the city of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip as "Nazi practices."

In a tweet posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, President Petro accompanied his message with footage of the areas subjected to Israeli bombardment, stating, "They claim this is not Nazi-like; killing 5,300 Palestinian boys and girls is a Nazi practice, despite the West's reluctance to acknowledge this truth."

This is not the first time President Petro has drawn parallels between Israeli atrocities and Nazi practices. He previously characterized Israeli airstrikes on Gaza as "Nazi-like" and asserted that Gaza is witnessing a genocide.

The comments from President Petro reflect the growing international condemnation of the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, with at least 16,000 civilians, predominantly civilians, murdered so far.
