Latin American governments call for end to Gaza violence
October 9 |
The governments of Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba and Colombia, among others in Latin America, expressed their concern over the violent events that began early Saturday morning in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Palestine.
The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela expressed its dismay after the escalation of violence and calls for a prompt solution to the situation and an end to violence throughout the Palestinian territory.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yván Gil, published an official statement through the social network X, where he considers that “the escalation is the result of the impossibility of the Palestinian people to assert their historical rights”.
For its part, Cuba expressed grave concern over the escalation of violence between Israel and Palestine. It also called for a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, based on the creation of two States, which would allow the Palestinian people to have an independent State within the pre-1967 borders.
It also calls for peace and the search for a solution through negotiation to avoid further escalation of a conflict that has already cost the lives of tens of thousands of people.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, on behalf of the Bolivian Government and people, regretted on Saturday the violent events that occurred in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Palestine and made an urgent call for peace.
“We make an urgent call for peace, to de-escalate violence, to preserve life and human rights,” reads the statement of the Bolivian Foreign Ministry.
It also regretted the “inaction” of the United Nations and the Security Council in the face of the events.
The President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, rejected the escalation of violence in the Gaza Strip through a message on his X account. “The only way for Palestinian children to sleep in peace is for Israeli children to sleep in peace. The only way for Israeli children to sleep in peace is for Palestinian children to sleep in peace,” he posted.
“War will never achieve that, only a peace agreement that respects international legality and the right of the two peoples to exist free can achieve it,” added the Colombian president.

Seven bodies found with signs of torture in Sinaloa
Mexican authorities discovered seven lifeless bodies on Wednesday, showing clear signs of torture, in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa, just one day after the same number of bodies was found in several municipalities in the western state of Mexico.
Six of these seven victims were found along the side of the highway that connects Culiacán to Mazatlán, near Laguna de Canachi, according to local media reports, which also noted that messages addressed to a criminal group were found near the bodies.
This brings the total number of violent deaths in the region to seven within just 24 hours. On Tuesday, authorities reported more victims found in the municipalities of Culiacán, Elota, and Mazatlán.
Among the victims identified was a local cattle rancher named Ramón Velázquez Ontiveros, as well as a police officer from Mazatlán, who was killed by a motorcyclist outside his home in San Marcos.

Málaga paralyzed by new storm as torrential rains hit Spain
Thousands of people were evacuated and trains were suspended as torrential rains once again struck Spain on Wednesday, following the devastating floods that killed at least 223 people two weeks ago, most of them in the Valencia region.
The national meteorological agency (Aemet) issued a maximum, red-level alert for the Andalusian province of Málaga in the south, and for Tarragona in the northeast, due to the new DANA (isolated depression at high levels), also known as a cold drop.
The city of Málaga appeared to be the hardest hit by the rains, with more than 3,000 people evacuated from 1,000 homes near rivers, flooded streets, and the suspension of urban transport and train services to Madrid.
“Today Málaga is paralyzed,” said Andalusia’s regional president, Juan Manuel Moreno, to reporters. “I know it is a problem for citizens not being able to take their children to school or go to work, but after what we saw in Valencia, we need to ‘prevent’ and minimize the impact in terms of loss of life,” he added.
The storm also led to the postponement of a match between Spain and Poland in the Billie Jean King Cup women’s tennis competition, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Málaga.

Hezbollah launches explosive drone strike on Israel’s defense headquarters
The Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah claimed on Wednesday that it launched an attack with explosive drones against the Israeli army’s headquarters in Tel Aviv.
The Iran-backed organization reported in a statement that it had carried out “an aerial attack with a squadron of explosive drones” targeting the site that houses Israel’s main defense institutions.
Hezbollah later stated that it also fired a barrage of rockets at the Glilot military intelligence base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.
The Israeli military indicated that “sirens sounded in several areas of northern and central Israel following the launch of projectiles from Lebanon.”
It later clarified that “five projectiles were identified over the territory, and some were intercepted.”
