Israel slams Honduras's decision to recall ambassador from Israel

Israel's foreign ministry has condemned the Honduran government's decision to recall its ambassador from Israel over Israel's bombardment of the Gaza Strip.

According to Israeli media, Lior Haiat, the foreign ministry spokesperson, said: "We expect the Honduran government to condemn Hamas, to support Israel's right to defend itself, and not to take decisions that provide support to Hamas's terrorism."

He also took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to denounce the Honduran government's decision, saying that it "ignores Israel's right to defend itself".

Israel has also criticised Bolivia, Chile and Colombia for their stances against Israel's bombardment of Gaza.
