🇨🇴🤝🇮🇱 — The new Colombian Government announces that it recognized the Israeli Sovereignty over the Golan Heights
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Colombia Recognizes Israel's Sovereignty over the Golan Heights
In light of the persistent regional instability in the Middle East and considering the strategic importance of the Golan Heights to Israel's security, the Government of Colombia recognizes Israeli sovereignty over this territory, as well as that State's right to protect itself against external threats.
For decades, Israel has faced persistent and existential security challenges along its borders. These threats have intensified significantly in recent years, culminating in the horrific terrorist attacks of October 7, which highlighted the gravity and evolving nature of the dangers facing the Israeli people.
In this regional security context, Colombia recognizes that maintaining Israel's control and sovereignty over the Golan Heights is an essential component of its national defense and its ability to protect and safeguard its citizens.
With this decision, Colombia reaffirms its commitment to the pursuit of a stable and lasting peace in the Middle East.
This statement is published in accordance with the commitment made by both nations on Saturday, August 8

🇷🇸❌🪖🇽🇰 — Serbia's President Aleksandar Vučić on International Law and comparisons between Ukraine and Serbia:
Why did you take 14% of Serbian territory, which was guaranteed by UN Charter and by UN resolution as well?
And it was happening just after the aggression against the Republic of Serbia, which was led by 19 NATO countries without permission of the Security Council of the United Nations.
Wasn't that an opening of a big Pandora's box? And at the end, actually, it was. And you cannot have this kind of double standards.
We do support territorial integrity of Ukraine, but we have this right to say, and even with that, we are saying we need to reach a peace.
And you are saying, well, we need to avoid, we need to avert any kind of wrong messages to the world.
But we have already had wrong messages.

🇷🇺⚖️❌🇷🇺🕊 — The Supreme Court has removed the pacifist "Yabloko" (Apple) party from the State Duma elections.
➡️ On this August 10, 2026, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation granted a lawsuit filed by the Russian nationalist "Rodina" party and barred "Yabloko" from participating in the elections.
➡️ The formal reasons for the ban included accusations perceived as absurd by the party supporters:
➡️ "Yabloko" which has existed since the 1990s and has never enjoyed widespread popularity, entered these elections with a platform of halting military operations.
🇷🇺 This pacifist stance attracted the attention of non-systemic Russian opposition forces, who called on voters to support the party as the only alternative.
➡️ Due to this, the party started to be seen as a possible umbrella for 5th Columns by Russian nationalists
➡️ Immediately after the court's decision, hundreds of liberal Russians gathered in front of the Supreme Court building, chanting "Yabloko!" and "Shame!" as well as "We don't need Malaya Tokmachka!" - in response to months of Russian Ministry of Defense statements about the capture of this small Ukrainian village, which the Russian army has been unable to capture since 2022, regularly reporting its "repeated liberation."
➡️ Security forces, using loudspeakers, demanded that the crowd disperse, threatening:
👊 One police officer also stated that if those gathered did not leave the streets, they "would end up in intensive care."
🔒 Later, riot police began detentions and checked the phones of those present for 'anti-Russian messages' and photographed the participants in the rally.
