        "summary": "Colombian President Gustavo Petro has called on European and Latin American countries to emulate Italy's decision to suspend its defence agreement with Israel amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced the suspension of the automatic renewal of the pact, a move Petro praised as essential to preventing further aggression in the region. This appeal comes against a backdrop of failed US-Iran negotiations in Pakistan and new US-imposed blockades on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.",
