       > CARACAS (Reuters) - The resignation of Bolivian President Evo
       Morales, the last serving member of the 'pink tide' of leftist
       leaders that swept Latin America two decades ago, polarized
       governments across the region on Sunday, with presidents from
       Venezuela to Argentina denouncing a "coup" and others cheering
       his exit.
       >
       > Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous leader, ended his 14-year
       rule after allies deserted him following weeks of protests over
       a disputed Oct. 20 election that has roiled the Andean nation.
       On Sunday, the Bolivian military and key political backers
       called on him to step down.
       >
       > Right-leaning governments in Latin America, among them
       Colombia and Peru, called on the Bolivian state to ensure new
       elections would be lawful. Brazil, under far-right nationalist
       Jair Bolsonaro, went further and welcomed Morales' fall.
       >
       > Meanwhile, embattled Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro,
       whose socialist predecessor Hugo Chavez served as a sometime
       mentor to Morales, told allies to mobilize in support of
       Morales.
       >
       > "We have to take care of our brother Evo Morales," Maduro said
       in a recording broadcast on Venezuelan state television. "We
       must declare a vigil in solidarity to protect him."
       >
       > Maduro's position has been bolstered by the return of
       left-leaning leaders in Mexico and Argentina. But Morales'
       resignation could unnerve the Venezuelan leader, who has clung
       to power this year despite an opposition campaign to convince
       the armed forces to rebel.
       >
       > Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel, another longtime Morales
       ally, tweeted his "solidarity" and said: "The world must be
       mobilized for the life and freedom of Evo."
       >
       > Mexico's government rejected what it called a military
       operation under way in Bolivia, adding that there must be "no
       coup." Mexico could offer asylum to Morales if he sought it,
       Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said on Twitter, though there
       was no immediate claim.
       >
       > And Argentine President-elect Alberto Fernandez, who won a
       landslide election victory last month in Latin America's
       third-largest economy, said "the institutional breakdown in
       Bolivia is unacceptable."
       > ...
       > Morales became president in 2006, joining Chavez, Argentina's
       Nestor Kirchner and Brazil's Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in a
       left-wing surge across the continent that refashioned state
       institutions and polarized domestic politics.

       > In January 2009, Bolivia limited its foreign relationship with
       Israel in the wake of strikes in Gaza by Israel. Bolivia has
       reportedly promised to take Israel to an international court for
       alleged war crimes committed in Gaza. This was the statement of
       the Bolivian President Evo Morales. On 30 July 2014, Bolivian
       relations with Israel were further strained. The country's
       president, Evo Morales, has declared Israel a "terrorist state"
       after their attack on Gaza.[23] Following this declaration, the
       Bolivian president has stated that he would terminate a 40-year
       agreement which allowed Israelis to travel to the country.

       world since taking office, after receiving political asylum in
       Mexico following widespread protests against his government,
