Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Wednesday expelled all remaining ‘Israeli’ diplomats in the country over ‘Israel’s’ interception of a Gaza-bound aid flotilla and reported detention of two Colombian activists.

Petro said two Colombian women, “who were engaged in human solidarity activities with Palestine,” were detained by ‘Israeli’ forces in international waters.

In a statement, his office said Manuela Bedoya and Luna Barreto were part of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) and called for their immediate release.
