Colombia appoints ambassador to Israel, moves embassy to Jerusalem

Colombia's new government under President Abelardo de la Espriella has appointed Tania Gilinski as ambassador to Israel and ordered the embassy to relocate from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. This marks a significant policy shift from previous administrations, aligning Colombia with the US and other nations that recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The move could strain relations with Palestine and other Arab states, and may have implications for regional diplomacy.
