BOGOTÁ | October 17, 2026. Colombia has restored its free trade agreement with Israel as President Abelardo de la Espriella resets bilateral relations, Reuters reported on October 14. The trade decision accompanied the opening of Colombia’s embassy in Jerusalem. The previous administration under Gustavo Petro had severed diplomatic relations with Israel in 2024.
Background and implications
The trade relationship covers commercial ties separate from the embassy’s politically sensitive location. Businesses will watch how customs and trade provisions are implemented. This article focuses on the commercial agreement rather than repeating the diplomatic opening.
What to watch
Official decisions, parliamentary proceedings and independently verified developments will determine the next stage. This report distinguishes proposals, projections and scheduled deadlines from measures already in force.
