Colombian President Gustavo Petro has sparked controversy by accusing Israel and the United States of employing Nazi propaganda tactics in a political campaign against leftist politician Iván Cepeda. Petro condemned a billboard campaign targeting Cepeda as a crime and linked it to broader manipulative tactics he claims are being used in Latin America, echoing sentiments from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In response, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, rebuked Petro on social media, stating that there are lines that should never be crossed and labeling Petro's remarks as disgraceful. This exchange is part of a larger pattern of Petro's confrontational stance towards Israel, which has included breaking diplomatic relations and accusations of genocide against Israel following the October 7 massacre and the Israel-Hamas war. The ongoing tensions reflect a significant diplomatic rift between Colombia and Israel, with Petro's comments intertwining local political issues with international relations involving Israel, the US, and Palestine.
