On Wednesday, Chile, Colombia, and Jordan made the announcement that they would be recalling their individual ambassadors from Israel. This decision was taken as a step towards engaging in consultations regarding Israel's ongoing bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
The decisions were announced one day after the Bolivian government declared the severance of diplomatic relations with Israel. This makes Bolivia the first country to take such a step since the October 7.
The government of Bolivia cut off diplomatic relations with Israel altogether, accusing it of “crimes against humanity.”
Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi conveyed the country's decision to recall its ambassador from Israel, stating that it was a clear expression of "rejection and condemnation of the ongoing Israeli conflict in Gaza." Furthermore, he revealed that Israel would be informed that its ambassador, who had previously departed Jordan, should not return.
It is worth noting that Jordan had entered into a peace treaty with Israel in 1994, becoming the second Arab nation to establish such diplomatic ties with Israel, following Egypt's example.
"With the unacceptable violations of international humanitarian law that Israel has incurred in the Gaza Strip, as the government of Chile, we have decided to call back to Santiago for consultations our ambassador in Israel, Jorge Carvajal," Chilean President Gabriel Boric Font wrote in a post on X.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro similarly said, “I have decided to recall our ambassador to Israel for consultations. If Israel does not stop the massacre of the Palestinian people, we cannot be there."
Meanwhile, The leftist leaders of both Latin American countries have criticized Israel's response to the Hamas attack several times in recent weeks, leading to a sharp deterioration in bilateral ties. On Oct. 8, Petro denounced Israel's “neo-Nazi” tactics in the Gaza Strip, prompting criticism from Israel's ambassador to Bogota.
