Protesters in Bogota rallied against Colombia’s newly restored diplomatic ties with Israel, criticizing President Abelardo de la Espriella’s decision to reopen relations following his August inauguration. The demonstration, which occurred on Wednesday, saw hundreds gather outside the Israeli embassy to protest what they view as a complicity in the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Protesters also condemned de la Espriella’s plan to establish a new Colombian embassy in Jerusalem and his government's recognition of Israel’s claim over the Golan Heights.

Protesters marked three years since Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, followed by Israel's response in Gaza.
