Bolivia Declares ’Israel’ Terrorist ’State’
Local Editor
Bolivia on Wednesday renounced a visa exemption agreement with the Zionist entity in protest over its aggression in Gaza, and declared it a terrorist "state".
President Evo Morales announced the move during a talk with a group of educators in the city of Cochabamba.
It "means, in other words, we are declaring "Israel" a terrorist state," he said.
The treaty has allowed "Israelis" to travel freely to Bolivia without a visa since 1972.
Morales said the Gaza offensive shows "that "Israel" is not a guarantor of the principles of respect for life and the elementary precepts of rights that govern the peaceful and harmonious coexistence of our international community."
More than two weeks of "Israeli" offensive in Gaza have left 1,300 dead and 6,000 wounded amid an intense "Israeli" air and ground campaign.
Bolivia broke off diplomatic relations with "Israel" in 2009 over a previous military aggression in Gaza.
In mid-July, Morales filed a request with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to prosecute "Israel" for "crimes against humanity."
