In January 2009, Bolivia limited its foreign relationship with Israel in the wake of strikes in [[Gaza Strip|Gaza]] by Israel. Bolivian President [[Evo Morales]] has reportedly promised to take Israel to an international court for alleged war crimes committed in Gaza.<ref>[http://english.aljazeera.net/news/americas/2009/01/200911415461671162.html Bolivia cuts Israel ties over Gaza] Al Jazeera, 14 January 2009</ref> Bolivia originally granted visa free access to Israeli citizens. However, as a result of Israel's 2014 military operation in Gaza, which it opposed, President Evo Morales declared Israel a "terrorist state" and his government will now require Israeli citizens to obtain a visa to visit Bolivia.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/bolivia-require-visas-israeli-travelers-24780895|title=International News |publisher=ABC News|access-date=21 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140813002626/https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/bolivia-require-visas-israeli-travelers-24780895|archive-date=13 August 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> Morales has called Israel's treatment of Palestinians "a genocide".<ref>{{Cite web| title=Bolivia declares Israel a 'terrorist state'|work=USA Today |access-date=14 November 2018| url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2014/07/30/bolivia-israel-terrorist-state/13384989/}}</ref>
