@iltv_israel: Colombia has officially opened its embassy in Jerusalem, becoming the tenth country to establish a diplomatic mission in Israel’s capital. The move marks a major shift in relations following years of tensions under former President Gustavo Petro. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar welcomed the decision alongside his Colombian counterpart, Omar Bula Escobar, who described Israel as a strategic partner and said relations between the two countries should never have been severed. The opening follows President Abelardo de la Espriella’s pledge to rebuild ties with Israel.
