Colombia has taken a significant diplomatic step by establishing an embassy in West Jerusalem, marking a shift in its foreign policy under the newly elected far-right government. The move comes amid rising tensions in the region and raises questions about international recognition of Jerusalem’s status. While Colombia has historically maintained a more neutral stance, this decision aligns with a growing trend among some Latin American nations to adjust their diplomatic ties. The development could further complicate relations with Palestinian authorities and regional allies.
Colombia has opened an embassy in West Jerusalem under new far-right President Abelardo de la Espriella.
