Colombia's President-Elect Vows Stronger Israel Ties

Abelardo de la Espriella won Colombia's presidential election, defeating leftist candidate Iván Cepeda. Cepeda accepted his defeat but denounced US interference in favor of de la Espriella. De la Espriella, who models himself on right-wing figures like Javier Milei and Nayib Bukele, has vowed to work with Israel 'like never before' and place Israel at the center of his diplomatic priorities. Mexico's Morena party rejected the result and demanded a vote-by-vote recount.
