Honduras recalls ambassador to Israel for consultations

By Sinan Dogan

Honduras recalled its Tel Aviv ambassador for consultations on Friday due to Israel's ongoing attacks in the Gaza Strip.

Foreign Minister Enrique Reina wrote on X that Roberto Martinez was summoned, considering the serious humanitarian conditions faced by the Palestinian civilian population in the Gaza Strip.

A demand for an immediate cease-fire was made to the UN in a statement Thursday by Foreign Ministry.

"Human rights must be respected under all circumstances. A catastrophic humanitarian crisis is unfolding in the Gaza Strip, disproportionately affecting the civilian population, largely composed of children," it said.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro and Chilean President Gabriel Boric recalled their Tel Aviv ambassadors in response to Israel's attacks against Gaza.

Bolivia's presidential spokeswoman Maria Nela Prada and Deputy Foreign Minister Freddy Mamani announced the decision to sever relations with Israel during a joint news conference.
