Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro has vowed to defend his country against what he described as threats from US President Donald Trump. In a social-media post on Monday, Petro, a former guerrilla fighter, warned that any violent US intervention in Colombia, similar to the operation carried out in Venezuela over the weekend, would trigger a firm response.
Over the weekend, Trump warned Petro to “watch his a**” following the abduction of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, an act that many international law experts say was illegal. Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Trump added that a similar operation against Petro’s government “sounds good to me.”

Israel started revoking the operating licenses of 37 international organisations delivering humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, citing failure to meet requirements under new registration rules, according to the Israeli public broadcaster KAN.
The Israeli government has started sending formal notices to dozens of organisations, informing them their licenses will be cancelled from January 2026 and requiring them to cease operations by March of the same year. Israeli authorities claim the affected organisations collectively provided less than 1 percent of total humanitarian aid during the war, and that overall aid delivery will not be impacted.
The broadcaster also cited security investigations alleging involvement of employees from Doctors Without Borders in what it described as 'terrorist' activities, claims the organisation has previously denied.
However, Haaretz reported that the decision is rooted in political considerations. Israel has previously taken similar measures against UNRWA, which the UN says operates under strict neutrality standards.
