Documented record

• November 1, 2023: On November 1, 2023, Bolivia's government under President Luis Arce severed diplomatic relations with Israel over its Gaza military offensive following the October 7 Hamas attack, with officials citing only Israeli "war crimes" and making no mention of the October 7 attack or Israeli hostages. Bolivia decided to break diplomatic relations with the State of Israel in repudiation and condemnation of the aggressive and disproportionate Israeli military offensive taking place in the Gaza Strip.

Where Galil stands

Our opinion: A government that severs ties with Israel while never once naming the October 7 massacre or its hostages isn't taking a principled peace stance — it's picking a side. We don't stand with that.
