The South American nation has refused to directly condemn Hamas for the October 7 attacks that sparked a brutal reprisal.

Bolivian officials cited the number of Palestinian casualties in Gaza that have resulted from the latest Israel-Hamas war, but made no mention of the Hamas attack on Israel at the start of the conflict.

Maria Nela Prada, the minister of the presidency who is acting foreign minister, accused Israel of "committing crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip against the Palestinian people". Bolivia also "rejects the Israeli hostile treatment of international actors providing humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip," Prada said, adding that Bolivia would send aid to the Gaza Strip, although she did not detail what that could entail.Neither Prada nor Mamani mentioned the Hamas attack on Israel, continuing with a pattern for the Bolivian government that never condemned the October 7 assault in which more than 1400 people were killed in Israel.

The government of this Andean nation of 12 million, now led by leftist President Luis Arce, has long been critical of Israel, and it previously severed diplomatic ties in 2009 over fighting involving Gaza. Diplomatic relations were re-established in 2020.
