The government of Belize suspended diplomatic ties with Israel on Tuesday, citing what it described in a statement as “unceasing indiscriminate bombing in Gaza” as Israeli forces attack Palestinian enclave.
This comes as other countries around the world are cutting off ties with Israel amid its bombardment of Gaza.
Argentina, home to Latin America’s largest Jewish community, condemned Israel’s attack on a densely populated refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.
“Nothing justifies the violation of international humanitarian law,” the Argentine foreign ministry said in a statement.
Bolivia and Brazil also cut diplomatic ties with Israel because of its attacks on the Gaza Strip, while Colombia and Chile recalled their ambassadors.
Israel criticized Bolivia, Chile and Colombia after the South American countries undertook a series of diplomatic moves to protest Israel’s military aggression in Gaza.
