Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar congratulated Colombian president-elect Abelardo de la Espriella on Monday following his narrow victory in Sunday’s runoff election.

With 99.91% of votes counted, Colombia’s National Civil Registry reported that de la Espriella secured 49.65% of the vote, ahead of ruling party candidate Iván Cepeda, who received 48.71%—a margin of fewer than 250,000 votes.

“Congratulations to my friend Abelardo ‘The Tiger’ de la Espriella on his impressive victory in the Colombian presidential elections,” Sa’ar wrote on X.
