💨 Abstract

Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced Colombia's adherence to China's Belt and Road Initiative during the China-CELAC forum in Beijing. This move has sparked debate, with some arguing it could strain relations with the U.S., Colombia's primary trading partner. Critics worry about potential loss of U.S. investment and support, while Petro seeks to balance relations and foster new economic ties. Meanwhile, Hamas released Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander, confirmed by the Israeli military.
