Good. Only ~215 countries to go. No one should have normal interactions with Israel or anyone who supports Israel.

What makes a 'country' is and itself very complicated. I do not believe Israel would want diplomatic relations with countries which sanction it.

ISIS was a 'state' at its peak and held control over territories but no one else had any formal diplomatic ties with them because everyone rightfully recognized them as an unlawful terrorist state. Is Israel really that different? Israel has shown blatant disregard for any peace plans whether its 1967 or Oslo. There are good reasons to not recognize Israel even though it holds territory.

Also, just because two countries have no formal diplomatic relations doesn't mean they can't have interactions. Look at USSR and Israel in this example

They were extradited to the Soviet Union and sentenced to prison terms, although at that time Israel and the Soviet Union had no extradition treaty as relations were still severed at the time. All hostages were released.

I agree. Having no diplomatic communications at all is a bad idea especially during times of crisis. Regardless of your feelings of the behaviour of a state, the phone line should always exist for governments to speak to each other. Whether we’re talking about Israel or Iran or Russia or North Korea or whatever. When your own citizens need help, or a crisis is ongoing, or a natural disaster occurs, or whatever, you want someone on the other end to pick up the phone.

Depends on how bad the US wants that lithium.

Bolivia signed a large defence contract with Iran recently, so it really depends on how it unfolds.

If it becomes a way for Iran to establish an outpost in South America it may lead to political assassinations and a regime change.

How can Hamas do this

Particularly not after Cast Lead in 2009 when Bolivia broke off relations. Israel hasn't really shown any reason for Bolivia to want to renew them since either.

Yes and no. We live in a global world and generally all countries are seen as "equal" when it comes to international relations. So when a country specifically severs ties with another, it creates friction, normally the rest of the world can provide proxy relations, i.e. Qatar with Iran, or Turkey or Britain/Canada with Cuba or whatever. But if multiple countries stop recognizing another countries sovereignty, that can cause a lot of complications with say citizens of that country traveling and having relations.

So even if Bolivia doesn't deal with Israel directly, if there is an Israeli business conducting commerce within Bolivia, suddenly it becomes a lot more complicated if there is any kind of financial dispute, or some kind of international incident involving a country that Bolivia doesn't have relations with.

Basically the Israeli company is exposed to a lot more risk then they would be otherwise.

I'm afraid that most States are addicted to the cyber mercenary services from Israeli corporations (eg NSO Group), and they would be unlikely to issue sanctions against them because they're unwilling to loose tools like Pegasus.

Glad to hear that Bolivia and Colombia are on the right side of history but I doubt Argentina or most countries in Europe would join.
