Colombian President Gustavo Petro has expressed support for the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Petro described the move as 'logical' and emphasized that Colombia respects and will comply with the ICC's ruling. He further stated that if Netanyahu or Gallant were to visit Colombia, they would be arrested. Petro's comments come in the context of his criticism of the violence in Gaza, which he has described as a 'war of extermination' aimed at preventing the establishment of a Palestinian state.
