Colombian President, Gustavo Petro, speaks as United Nations Security Council visits Bogota, Colombia on February 8, 2024. [Juancho Torres – Anadolu Agency]
Colombian President Gustavo Petro has said that the question of “who will hold Israel accountable for its crimes” should start with Germany, stressing that Germany’s “guilt complex towards the Jews because of the Holocaust” continues to paralyse its decisions.
In an interview with Al Jazeera Mubasher, President Petro said that while Israel “is a state with a government,” it “has committed genocide and is repeating what the Nazis once did to the Jews — but this time against the Palestinians.”
He called on Germany and Europe to take action, as well as democratic people in the United States — particularly the youth — noting that “American capital is trying to silence them.”
The president added that Germans “are paralysed by fear of their past and its burden.” He pointed out that the Nuremberg Trials, which later evolved into the international justice system represented by the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, are now “under attack from the United States.”
President Petro noted that most countries have ratified the courts’ conventions “despite their current inability to act,” adding, “I trust that the Israeli people, especially the youth — who are currently ruled by a Nazi government that oppresses Christians and Arabs alike — will rise up.”
He went on to say that the International Criminal Court had issued an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister, but that US President Donald Trump and other states have ignored it.
President Petro concluded by saying that “the chosen people are not Israel or the United States; the chosen people are those who choose humanity.”

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) receives the bodies of 45 Palestinians held by the Israeli army as part of a prisoner/ hostage exchange between Hamas and Israel, with the ninth group of remains transferred to Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, Gaza, on November 03, 2025. [Abed Rahim Khatib – Anadolu Agency]
Gaza’s Health Ministry said Monday that it had received the remains of 45 Palestinians released by Israel via the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), raising the total number of bodies handed over to 270 under a ceasefire agreement, Anadolu reports.
The forensic teams have so far identified 78 bodies and are continuing examinations “in accordance with approved medical procedures and protocols” before the remains are documented and released to families, the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry had previously said that many of the bodies handed over by Israel showed signs of abuse, including beatings, bound hands, blindfolds, and facial disfigurement, and were returned without names.
The handover is part of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement that took effect on Oct. 10. The deal includes the exchange of prisoners and bodies between Israel and Hamas, brokered by Turkiye, Egypt, and Qatar, with US oversight.
Families have been identifying the remains of their relatives, returned from Israel without names, by physical markings or clothing, as forensic facilities in Gaza remain out of service due to a years-long Israeli blockade and the destruction of laboratories.
Before the ceasefire, Israel held 735 Palestinian bodies in so-called “cemeteries of numbers,” according to the Palestinian National Campaign to Retrieve Martyrs’ Bodies.
According to the Israeli daily Haaretz, the army has been holding about 1,500 bodies of Palestinians from Gaza at the notorious Sde Teiman military base in southern Israel.
Israel has killed more than 68,800 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 170,600 others in attacks in Gaza since October 2023.

Palestinian group Hamas on Sunday denied accusations by the US Central Command (CENTCOM) that it has looted aid trucks in the Gaza Strip, Anadolu reports.
In a statement, Hamas called the US accusations “unfounded” and “part of an attempt to justify the further reduction of already limited humanitarian aid, while covering up the international community’s failure to end the blockade and starvation imposed on civilians in Gaza.”
“All manifestations of chaos and looting ended immediately after the withdrawal of the (Israeli) occupying forces, proving that the occupation was the only party that sponsored these gangs and orchestrated the chaos,” it added.
Hamas said over 1,000 Palestinian police and security forces had lost their lives and hundreds were injured while trying to provide protection for humanitarian aid convoys and ensure that assistance reaches those in need.
It affirmed that none of the international or local institutions, nor any driver working with the aid convoys, has filed any report or complaint about looting by Hamas.
“This clearly demonstrates that the scene cited by the US Central Command is fabricated and politically motivated to justify blockade policies and the reduction of humanitarian aid,” it said, blaming the US for failing to document the ongoing Israeli attacks despite the ceasefire, including the killing of 254 Palestinians and wounding of 595 others.
CENTCOM had shared drone footage allegedly showing an aid truck being looted by Hamas operatives in the enclave.
Hamas said the average number of aid trucks entering Gaza does not exceed 135 per day, while the rest are commercial trucks that Gaza’s population cannot afford, “despite our repeated calls to increase the number of humanitarian aid trucks and reduce commercial shipments.”
“The US adoption of the Israeli narrative only deepens Washington’s immoral bias and places it squarely as a partner in the blockade and the suffering of the Palestinian people,” it said.
The ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10 under US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan.
Phase one of the deal includes the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. The plan also envisages the rebuilding of Gaza and the establishment of a new governing mechanism without Hamas.
Israel has killed more than 68,500 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 170,600 others in attacks in Gaza since October 2023.

Out of touch: The Labour leadership show no sign of responding to public anger
WE will listen, we will learn the lessons. The boilerplate mantras have tripped easily off the tongue of Labour politicians since the catastrophic loss of Caerphilly in the Welsh Senedd by-election last week.
But do they mean it? The evidence is scant. Just this week we learn that ministers are preparing to relax regulations around “short-selling” — a fancy term for gambling by hedge funds, wherein they bet that the shares of a target company are going to fall.
This is an irredeemably useless activity from any social point of view, and Labour’s intention to indulge its practitioners is just another signal of its subordination to the City and neoliberalism in its most grotesque forms.
It speaks to the utter poverty of the government’s political imagination, and to Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s inability to think outside the box of conventional bourgeois economic strategy.
Was that what the thousands of lost Labour voters in Caerphilly were protesting about? Does the government actually imagine they were calling for easier treatment of hedge funds when they defected en masse to Plaid Cymru or Reform? Not even the most obliging Downing Street spin doctor could be persuaded to peddle such a line.
Keir Starmer says that the Labour Party under his leadership is intensely relaxed about assaulting those least able to defend themselves – the very poorest and most vulnerable.Keir Starmer explains that he feels no shame or guilt benefitting personally from gifts from the rich and powerful while insisting on policies of severe austerity causing suffering and death.Genocide denier and Current UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is quoted that he supports Zionism without qualification.

Palestinians mourn the loss of their loved ones during the funeral held at Nasser Hospital for those who were killed in the Israeli attack on Khan Yunis, despite the ceasefire in Gaza on October 29, 2025 [Mohammed Asad/Middle East Monitor]
The Israeli army killed 100 Palestinians, including at least 35 children, in the Gaza Strip since Tuesday evening, violating the ceasefire agreement, according to medics, Anadolu reports.
The Israeli strikes hit homes, tents sheltering displaced civilians, a vehicle, a shelter, and a hospital inside the so-called “yellow line,” medics told Anadolu.
The “yellow line” refers to the zone to which Israeli forces have withdrawn under the ceasefire agreement. It is a physical partition that runs through the Gaza Strip, dividing the Palestinian territory in half, and located inside Gaza, south of Gaza City and north of Khan Younis.
In northern Gaza, the Israeli army targeted a school-turned-shelter in an area in Beit Lahia, killing three civilians and injuring others.
The Israeli army shelled two houses in the Al-Nasr neighborhood and the Shati refugee camp in western Gaza City, in the north, leaving eight people dead.
A fresh Israeli strike on Wednesday morning hit a mosque sheltering displaced people in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City, witnesses told Anadolu.
Two people were killed, 10 injured in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City, and a number of civilians are still missing under the rubble of a house that was targeted by the army strikes. Several others were wounded in another attack southwest of the Zeitoun neighborhood.
A Palestinian mom and her child were killed by the Israeli army in Gaza City’s Tel al-Hawa neighborhood.
In the central Gaza Strip, four people lost their lives after an Israeli strike hit their tent in Deir al-Balah.
Six people lost their lives, and many others were wounded when Israeli aircraft struck a school-turned-shelter and a house in the Bureij refugee camp.
Five others were also killed in strikes that targeted several homes in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
In a similar attack, nine people, four of them children, were killed, and nine others went missing under the rubble of a house that was hit by the Israeli army in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
Eight people, including three children, were killed in Israeli fire on tents sheltering displaced civilians in the Al-Mawasi area, western Khan Younis, southern Gaza.
Medical sources said the death toll is expected to rise due to several people sustaining critical injuries and ongoing searches for those missing under the rubble of destroyed homes.
The brutal Israeli attacks came in violation of a ceasefire agreement that came into effect on Oct. 10 under US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan.
Phase one of the deal includes the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. The plan also envisages the rebuilding of Gaza and the establishment of a new governing mechanism without Hamas.
