5 Latin American Countries Recall Ambassadors to Israel over Gaza Assault

HeadlineAug 01, 2014

In Latin America, five countries — Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and El Salvador — have all recalled their ambassadors to Israel in protest of the offensive in Gaza. The presidents of Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela have issued a joint statement calling for Israel to end its “disproportionate use of force.” Bolivia has changed its policies to require Israelis entering the country to obtain a visa, and Bolivian President Evo Morales called Israel a “terrorist state.” Protests against Israel’s assault have erupted across Latin America and around the world. We’ll have more on Gaza after headlines.
