Colombia’s president has signed a decree banning the exports of coal to Israel in a bid to push Tel Aviv to end the war in Gaza.

According to a Bloomberg report, the decree was signed last week.
Colombia is the biggest supplier of coal to Israel. It is also the sixth-largest seaborne coal exporter in the world and the second-largest in South America. Last year, Colombia exported 56.4 million tons of the commodity.

The ban on coal exports to Israel was first announced in June, with President Gustavo Petro saying on X “We are going to suspend coal exports to Israel until the genocide stops,” per the Financial Times. The country’s trade ministry said the ban will enter into effect five days after the publication of the decree in the state gazette but it would not affect already contracted coal volumes.

In the first eight months of 2023, Colombian coal exports to Israel totaled $320 million, the FT also reported in June, adding that per official data government income from these exports stood at $165 million.

In May this year, however, Colombia broke its diplomatic relations with Israel amid the war with Hamas. The ban on exports of coal followed this move, echoing a similar move by Turkey, which in May stopped all trade with Israel demanding “an uninterrupted and sufficient flow” of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Back in June when the ban was announced, Colombia’s mining industry association warned that the ban would hurt the country’s economy and discourage foreign investment.

“This decision would not comply with international commitments by Colombia that should be respected and puts at risk the confidence of markets and foreign investment,” the association, ACM, said in a statement.

Hydrocarbons make up more than half of Colombia’s export income but President Petro has pledged a reversal of policies to turn the country into an energy transition champion.

Nigeria can start exporting coal to Isreal to fill the gap

With there money, Israel will definitely get another source for their coal needs

Most of those ing isreal are either ignorant, goyims, been threatened or they are scared of Israel.

Nigeria to Israel......

Genocide lovers won't delay to tag them anti Semitic but every reasonable person knows that it's a great action to prevent crime against humanity .

I can't imagine people that stand against Hitler's holocaust engaging in ethnic cleansing.

Now is the time for Igbos to prove that they have affiliations with Israel (Jews). We have Coal City in Nigeria; Israel should turn to Nigeria for respite. Igbo kwezionu!!!

Israel be existing before Columbia and will continue to..

lol, coal is abundant everywhere.

If Israel reciprocates and bans their own, check who will be affected the most.

Columbia for Kukuma lock up.

Make Israel no worry, nigeria go supply them coal, with coal pot as jara on top, lobatan

Please, Israel should come and patronize Nigeria to supply her the commodity. This is were proactive leaders should move into action by ing and g a bilateral deal with the embassador of Israel to Nigeria.

If only our druggie president will not sell them all to stay high on snuff

Why nah.

Imagine countries are still generating revenue from coal while ours is left moribund. How can we be in poverty in the midst of abundance?

Do you know how many people out there who can sing, dance, choreograph, and even die and wake up back, that are undiscovered, badly managed, and are dying with all the great talents God gave them.

Did Jude put gun on Peters head to sign the contract of 40% by 30:30% they are in?
When he was using his money to be buy expensive automobile and properties, why didn't you go and advise him?
