McCaul, Salazar Strongly Condemn President Petro's Antisemitic Remarks

Statement

Date: Oct. 16, 2023
Issues: Foreign Affairs

"We are appalled by President Petro's unhinged and antisemitic posts on X. In no universe should any leader, especially one that governs a democratic nation, compare Israel to Nazi Germany and accuse it of genocide. Comments such as these inflame antisemitism and threaten the security of Colombia's Jewish community. President Petro's continued anti-democratic behavior and hostility with the truth threaten our historic bilateral relationship."
