JAKARTA - Colombian President Gustavo Petro called on European and Latin American countries to follow Italy's move to suspend a defense agreement with Israel amid the Middle East conflict.
Previously, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced the suspension of the automatic extension of the defense agreement with Israel.
"The Prime Minister of Italy has decided to suspend the agreement with Israel. I support this decision and propose that all European and Latin American countries follow suit to prevent aggression in the Middle East," Petro said on the X platform, as reported by ANTARA from Sputnik/RIA Novosti, Wednesday, April 15.
Petro emphasized that inter-civilizational dialogue leads to peace, while rocket attacks lead to the destruction of humanity.
On April 11, Iran and the United States began negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan, after US President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire.
A day later, US Vice President JD Vance said the two sides failed to reach an agreement and the US delegation returned without results.
On the same day, Trump also announced that the US would begin imposing a blockade on all ships attempting to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz.
He also ordered the US Navy to track and intercept vessels that pay a levy to Iran to pass through the shipping lane.
