哥伦比亚首都的抗议者集会反对新上任的右翼政府对以色列的政策。
Protesters have rallied in Colombia’s capital opposing the new far-right government’s policy towards Israel.
周三，数百人走上波哥大街头，抗议加沙正在发生的种族灭绝以及哥伦比亚政府恢复与以色列外交和经济关系的决定。
Hundreds took to the streets of Bogota on Wednesday to protest against the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the Colombian government’s decision to restore diplomatic and economic relations with Israel.
抗议者从波哥大的以色列大使馆前开始游行，批评总统阿贝拉多·德·拉·埃斯普雷利亚在耶路撒冷开设新的哥伦比亚大使馆的决定。
The protesters, who began their rally in front of the Israeli embassy in Bogota, criticised President Abelardo de la Espriella’s decision to open a new Colombian embassy in Jerusalem.
此次集会标志着2023年10月7日哈马斯发动袭击三周年，随后以色列对加沙发动了种族灭绝战争。
The rally marked three years since the Hamas-led attacks of October 7, 2023, which were followed by Israel launching a genocidal war on Gaza.
参与抗议的尼古拉斯·伊萨萨告诉半岛电视台：“当与以色列断交时，传递的信息是我们不会成为其暴行的同谋。”
“When diplomatic relations with Israel were broken off, the message was that we would not be a nation complicit in their atrocities,” Nicolas Isaza, who took part in the protest, told Al Jazeera.
他补充道：“如今，我们的政府不再对巴勒斯坦发生的暴行划清界限。”
“Today our government is no longer drawing a line against the atrocities being committed in Palestine,” he added.
德·拉·埃斯普雷利亚于8月宣誓就任总统，他在竞选期间承诺与美国和以色列建立密切关系，以此作为打击国内武装团体的手段。
De la Espriella, who was sworn in as president in August, promised close relations with the US and Israel during his election campaign as a way to combat armed groups in his country.
此前，前总统古斯塔沃·佩特罗批评以色列对加沙的种族灭绝战争，并断绝了外交关系、停止进口以色列武器。此后，哥伦比亚政府已恢复与以色列的关系。
Colombia’s government has since restored relations with Israel after former President Gustavo Petro, who criticised Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, severed diplomatic relations and halted Israeli arms imports.
新总统就职几天后，哥伦比亚政府还承认了以色列对占领的叙利亚戈兰高地的主权要求。
The Colombian government also recognised Israel’s claim of sovereignty over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, just days after the new president took power.
