“Colombia’s Decision to Cut Ties with Israel: A Macro Economic Analysis”

Macro Economics
Students are required to write a current event essay in which they analyze an article and relate it to course topics. Students will need to find an article (Economist, Wall Street Journal, Time, Newsweek, etc.) and write a three-page essay (Times New Roman, double-spaced, 12-point font, and one-inch margins) relating the article to topics discussed in the course. The article must be cited in the essay. 
Students will be graded on their ability to follow directions and articulate how course topics relate to their article of choice. Late essays will not be accepted. The essay is worth 50 points. Students can anticipate feedback and score within 4 days of the due date.
The current Event I selected is an Al Jazeera article: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/1/colombia-to-cut-diplomatic-ties-with-israel-over-gaza-war-petro-says
Colombia cuts diplomatic ties with Isreal over Gaza War
This sounds strange, but I don’t want the writing to be too good, because my past writing for this class isn’t amazing. I attached the syllabus so you can see the topics discussed, and when talking about the topics dumb it down a bit.
