This Sunday, former Bolivian president Evo Morales once once more supported the actions of the Hamas terrorist group in Israel and described the statement from the Government of Luis Arce as “biased” for not assuming the same position.

In a program on the coca radio station Kawsachun Coca, Morales maintained that the policy of the “democratic and cultural revolution” promoted by the government Movement towards Socialism (MAS) “is in defense of Palestine.”
“The (Bolivian) Foreign Ministry issued a note, but it was biased,” questioned the also president of the MAS and stated that the statement is another example of “the right-wing nature of the Government” of Arce, who was his Minister of Economy.

For Morales, “Israel is the equal of the United States, interventionist, expansionist,” which is why he considered that “defending that is unacceptable.”
“Our solidarity, our repudiation and condemnation of that kind of intervention and declaring war on the Palestinian people,” he said.

The former ruler, who is distanced from President Arce, insisted that “it is not possible for a Government of the democratic and cultural revolution to issue a biased document” in which “there is no defense of Palestine.”
The former Bolivian president later reiterated these concepts in a message published on X, the social network formerly known as Twitter.
Yesterday, Morales had also defended the terrorist group Hamas and condemned “the imperialist and colonial actions of the Israeli Zionist government.”
During his government, Morales decided in 2009 to break diplomatic relations with Israel in solidarity with Palestine, arguing that “crimes once morest humanity” were committed in Gaza during that period.
In 2014, it also required a visa for Israeli citizens to enter Bolivia, following considering that country to be a “terrorist state” due to its attacks in Gaza.
In the statement criticized by the former president, the Bolivian Foreign Ministry expressed the day before its “deep concern regarding the violent events that occurred in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Palestine.”
He also made an “urgent call for peace” and regretted the “inaction of the United Nations and the Security Council” in the face of what happened.
Israel declared a state of war this Saturday following Palestinian militias in the Gaza Strip, led by the Islamist group Hamas, launched an operation combined with rocket fire and infiltration into Israeli territory, in a surprise and unprecedented attack.
According to the latest official counts, the attacks by Gaza militias on Israel have already caused more than 700 deaths, while in the Strip there are 370 Palestinians dead, due to the bombings launched by the Israeli Army in retaliation.
