From New York, this is Democracy Now.

I heard when I compare the situation of Palestine with the situation of the Ukraine, I want

to show a parallelism in the real situations.

There's a literary occupation in both countries.

There's a different attitude and world powers.

Today an exclusive broadcast interview with Colombian President Gustavo Petro is calling

on the United Nations to hold peace summons to end the conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine.

He'll talk about war, the climate crisis, the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Baku in Chile,

and the disastrous impact of U.S. sanctions on Cuba and Venezuela.

In Locale, this is a bull.

The blockade against Venezuela has had a boom-rank type of response now hitting the Fair United

States, which are the ones who decided to impose the blockade.

So at the knocking at the door of the population that they drove into poverty.

Gustavo Petro, from M19, Gorilla, to President of Colombia, all that and more, coming up.

Welcome to Democracy Now, Democracy Now.org, The War and Peace Report.

I'm Amy Goodman.
