The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has hailed Colombian government in cutting diplomatic relations with Israeli regime over its brutal attacks against the Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Hamas movement in its statement released lauded the Colombian Foreign Ministry for expelling the Israeli ambassador from the south American country in support of the Palestinians under incessant Israeli aggressions, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

Hamas called on the other world countries to take similar stance in rejecting the hostile policies of Israeli regime and genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza.

Colombia on Monday said Israel's ambassador should leave the South American country before rowing back comments amid a worsening spat over President Gustavo Petro's remarks on attacks against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip.
Foreign Minister Alvaro Leyva initially said the envoy, Gali Dagan, should "at a minimum, apologize and leave."
More than 2,800 Palestinians have been killed in ten days of Israeli atrocities against the besieged Gaza Strip, the majority of them women and children.
Israeli regime began massive military aggression against the Palestinians after the resistance movement Hamas launched the operation al-Aqsa Flood in response to decades of atrocities against the Palestinian people and holy al-Aqsa Mosque.
