Israel, Colombia announce mutual visa exemption as nations continue to rebuild diplomatic ties
With the election of the new right-wing president of Colombia, Abelardo de la Espriella, Colombia and Israel have restored ties that had been severed for two years under the previous administration.
Israel and Colombia will implement a mutual visa exemption starting September 1, following discussions between their respective Foreign Ministers, Gideon Sa'ar and Álvaro Leyva Escobar. This development signifies a strengthening of diplomatic ties, which were restored after the election of Colombia's new right-wing president, Abelardo de la Espriella, ending a two-year severance. Colombia has also recognized Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, becoming the second country to do so, and plans to move its embassy to Jerusalem. Additionally, the IDF dispatched a humanitarian delegation to assist Colombia after a recent 7.4-magnitude earthquake, with President de la Espriella thanking Israel for its support during "these very difficult times."
