Despite international pressure and even reports of Saudi bribery Colombia refused to throw Israel under the bus. They know full well the consequences of standing by Israel and are prepared for the international demonization. Colombians love the fact that by supporting Israel it’s their way of giving the world the finger.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was recently in Colombia hoping to change their minds. Miguel Santos refused and said only through negotiations can they achieve a State. Clearly Abbas was frustrated dealing with Colombian stubbornness.
