Los Lagos Senator Iván Moreira decried installation of a public hanukkiah in Puerto Montt by the local Council of Evangelical Pastors on December 17 , lambasting the traditionalHanukkah candelabra for its ostensible connection to a supposed genocide in Gaza .

The American Jewish Committee criticized Sáez and leaders like Chilean President Gabriel Boric Font for importing the Israeli -Palestinian conflict into their own country and, by doing so, “endangering the Jewish community”.

In San Antonio , a Hanukkah celebration event hosted by Mayor Omar Vera in collaboration with the Israeli embassy was canceled on December 29 as several anti-Israel groups threatened large protests.

The Israeli embassy denounced the “messages of hate and religious intolerance” that led to the cancellation of the religious event.

Casa De Las Aguas , which said it participated in the celebration, said in the face of all the opposition, the event was a “blessing and victory”.
