Bolivia has become the first country to sever diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv as Israeli war machine kills more Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Bolivia severs diplomatic ties with Tel Aviv amid expansion of Israeli onslaught against Gaza
The Bolivian foreign ministry made the announcement on Tuesday after Israeli jets bombed the Jabaliya refugee camp in Gaza.

At least 400 Palestinians, mostly women and children, were killed and injured in the Israeli onslaught, amid the regime’s intensified bombing campaign against the blockaded territory. 

The ongoing Israeli offensive has killed 8,610 Palestinians and left more than 23,000 wounded, according to the figure provided on Tuesday by the Ministry of Health in its daily report on the situation in the occupied territories. The figure excludes the casualties from the Israeli attack on Jabaliya.

Besides its relentless bombardment, Tel Aviv has also blocked water, food, and electricity to Gaza, plunging the besieged territory into a humanitarian crisis.

Bolivia in 2009 cut diplomatic ties with Israel in protest of its war on the Gaza Strip.

In 2020, the pro-US government of President Jeanine Anez reestablished ties.

In June, last year Anez was sentenced to a 10-year prison after she was arrested on charges of leading a US-backed plot in 2019 to oust re-elected socialist president Evo Morales.

Bolivia’s current president is Luis Arce who is from Morales's Movement for Socialism party.
