Israel continues to attack the Gaza Strip, which now lies in ruins.
Gazans also suffer the brutal impact of the Israeli siege.
The critical humanitarian situation and the continued attacks have become unacceptable for most Latin American governments that not only expressed their shock but also slammed the havoc left behind Tel Aviv.
Over the past month, Ecuador summoned its ambassador to Tel Aviv, followed by Peru, Brazil and El Salvador.
Chile went further and also called off the Free Trade Agreement with Israel.
Israel couldn’t´ bear criticism from the Latin American leaders and shot back with fierce and insulting statements.
For instance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu´s spokesperson said that Brazil is becoming a dwarf in the diplomatic world.
The harsh reactions of the regional governments portray the anger and outrage of the Latin American people with the ruthless Israeli attacks against civilian population in Gaza.
Rallies all across the continent are expected to demand sanctions from the international community to the Israeli regime.
