Colombia Becomes Second Nation to Recognize Israel's Claim to Golan Heights

11 Ağustos 2026Al Jazeera

Colombia has become the second country to officially recognize Israel's claims over the Golan Heights, a territory that has been illegally annexed. This decision aligns Colombia's foreign policy more closely with that of the United States and other allies.
The move is likely to have significant implications for Colombia's relations in the region, particularly with countries that oppose Israel's claims.
The Golan Heights has been a contentious area since Israel's annexation in 1981, which has not been widely recognized internationally. Colombia's decision comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East and a realignment of some Latin American countries towards more pro-Israel stances.
Colombia's recognition of Israel's claim over the Golan Heights marks a significant shift in its foreign policy, reflecting a broader trend of alignment with U.S. interests in the region.
