Venezuela: Stop the Genocide in Palestine
The Venezuelan President said: "We must not remain silent about the genocide in the Gaza Strip."
Nicolas Maduro said: "What is happening in Palestine goes beyond the Holocaust, and we must not remain silent in the face of the genocide that is taking place." Maduro added that there are far-right people, racists and Nazis in Tel Aviv, and we must be prepared to defend real human values from the far right. The Venezuelan President said: "Based on the statement of the United Nations Secretary-General, I call on the countries of the world to put pressure on Israel to stop the massacre in the Gaza Strip and punish its perpetrators." Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Gil Pinto said in a statement on Sunday that Caracas supports the oil embargo against Israel in response to the Zionist regime's barbaric attacks on the Gaza Strip and in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Calling the situation in Gaza catastrophic, Pinto said the Zionist regime's actions in the area amounted to genocide. The Venezuelan Foreign Minister also called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire and easier delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza. The Government Information Bureau in the Gaza Strip announced on Monday that the number of martyrs of the Zionist regime's aggression in the Gaza Strip has risen to 13,300 and the number of wounded to more than 31,000.
