Colombia has reversed its coal export ban on Israel, Middle East Eye reported. The decree follows the South American nation's recent recognition of Israeli sovereignty over Syria's occupied Golan Heights, a territorial claim few countries have acknowledged.
The original ban had been imposed in response to allegations of Israeli military operations in Gaza. Colombia's decision represents a reversal from its previous position on the conflict, one that had drawn international attention during months of escalating tensions between Bogotá and Tel Aviv over the humanitarian situation in Palestinian territories.
