Colombian President Gustavo Petro urged U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders Thursday to take immediate action to ensure the delivery of food and humanitarian aid to Gaza.
“Trump must understand that he will not be able to start any peace plan if food does not immediately enter the population of Gaza,” Petro wrote on the U.S. social media company X’s platform.

The Colombian leader warned that there could be no peace if people continue to die from starvation.
On Wednesday, Petro ordered the expulsion of Colombia's entire Israeli diplomatic delegation in response to the detention of two Colombian nationals aboard a flotilla attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Israeli naval forces intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla bound for the besieged Gaza Strip and detained more than 450 activists on board, according to its organisers.
According to the International Committee to Break the Siege on Gaza (ICBSG), the vessel Marinette remains en route to Gaza.
