In January 2009, Bolivia limited its relations with Israel in the wake of Israeli strikes in Gaza in response to rocket attacks on Israel. Bolivia reportedly promised to take Israel to an international court for alleged war crimes committed against Palestinians in Gaza. On 30 July 2014, Bolivian relations with Israel were further strained. During the [[2014 Israel–Gaza conflict]], Bolivian President Evo Morales declared Israel a "terrorist state" for alleged human rights abuses against Palestinians.<ref>{{cite web |year=2014 |title=Israel Is A 'Terrorist State': Bolivian President |url=http://www.ibtimes.com/israel-terrorist-state-bolivian-president-1644126 |website=International Business Times}}</ref><ref>Baeza, Cecilia.
