Colombia's new right-wing government under President Abelardo de la Espriella has authorized coal exports to Israel, overturning an embargo imposed by the previous administration over the Gaza war. The decision follows Colombia's recognition of Israeli rule over Syria's occupied Golan Heights, marking a shift in the country's foreign policy stance toward Israel. The move reverses a prior left-wing government's boycott measure tied to allegations of genocide in Gaza, signaling warming diplomatic and trade ties between Bogota and Jerusalem under the new administration.
