In response to the war in Gaza, Colombian President Gustavo Petro has declared the temporary suspension of coal exports to Israel. He emphasized that the resumption of coal exports is contingent upon the cessation of what he termed as 'genocide' in Gaza. The announcement signifies Colombia's stance on the humanitarian crisis, linking the export policy to the broader context of the conflict. This decision adds a new dimension to the economic repercussions of international events on the energy sector.
