“I am going back to Colombia to open enlistment for Colombians to serve to fight in Gaza, and if I need to go and join to serve, I will. But this needs to happen among other nations,” he said…

“This is a matter of humanity, not just Palestinians,” Petro said at the demonstration. “If Palestine disappears, humanity does too. All nations should volunteer to serve this army to save the world’s humanity.”

It was unclear if the army Petro envisioned would serve as a peacekeeping force or actively fight against Israel.

@unconsequential My understanding is that this would be all volunteer. If it were an actual army, it might be seen as a declaration of war.

Note: I could well be wrong.
