Colombia's right-wing government under President Abelardo de la Espriella has authorized the resumption of coal exports to Israel, overturning an embargo imposed by former President Gustavo Petro in response to Israel's conduct in Gaza. Trade Minister Mauricio Gomez Amin announced the decree, reversing a policy that had barred Colombian coal, a key export commodity, from reaching Israel. The move marks a significant policy reversal and reflects a broader shift in Colombia's foreign policy stance toward Israel under the new administration, drawing criticism from groups that had supported the original ban as a stand against Israel's actions in Gaza.
