Bolivia said it is cutting diplomatic ties with Israel over the "aggressive and disproportionate" attacks on Gaza.

Deputy foreign minister Freddy Mamani told reporters that their decision was "in repudiation and condemnation of the aggressive and disproportionate Israeli military offensive being carried out in the Gaza Strip".

Separately, the leaders of Colombia and Chile have recalled their ambassadors to Israel in protest.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Chilean president Gabriel Boric Fonts said his country "strongly condemns" Israel's "unacceptable violations of international humanitarian law".

Colombian president Gustavo Petro wrote, also on X: "If Israel does not stop the massacre of the Palestinian people we cannot be there."
