[Iran Press TV] Bolivia has declared Israel a "terrorist state" and revoked a visa exemption agreement with Tel Aviv in protest at the ongoing Israeli attacks on the besieged Gazoo Strip.
The move "means, in other words, we are declaring (Israel) a terrorist state," President Evo Morales said during talks with a group of educators in the city of Cochabamba on Wednesday.
Morales added that the Israeli offensive shows "that Israel is not a guarantor of the principles of respect for life and the elementary precepts of rights that govern the peaceful and harmonious coexistence of our international community."
Signed in 1972, the visa exemption agreement has allowed Israelis to travel freely to Bolivia without a visa. |
