Just in case you wondered why the USA is sudenly invading Venesuela ...
As of August 2025, Venezuela, under President Nicolás Maduro, has continued its strong condemnation of Israel's actions, particularly regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and recent tensions in the Middle East.
Here are some key statements and actions:
Denunciation of Israeli aggression and "genocide" in Gaza: Maduro has consistently described Israel's actions in Gaza as a "war of extermination" and a "genocide" against the Palestinian people, and denounced the international community's silence on the matter. He has also condemned what he called "indiscriminate attacks on the civilian population by Israel" in Gaza.
Condemnation of Israeli actions against Iran: In response to recent Israeli airstrikes on Iran, Maduro condemned these attacks as "criminal aggression" and accused Israel of fueling instability in the Middle East.
Support for Palestinian statehood and rights: Venezuela continues to advocate for the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and supports the right of return for Palestinian refugees.
Call for Israeli denuclearization: Maduro has called for a global peace summit and proposed the creation of a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in West Asia, specifically calling for Israel to dismantle its undeclared nuclear arsenal and program.
Solidarity with Iran: Venezuelan government supporters have rallied in solidarity with Iran following recent Israeli airstrikes, reaffirming Caracas and Tehran's alliance.
Accusations against Israeli government officials: Maduro has labeled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the "Hitler of the 21st century".
Condemnation of Israeli plans for Gaza control: Venezuela's Foreign Minister Yvan Gil strongly condemned Israel's stated plans to establish full control over the Gaza Strip.
It's important to note that Venezuela severed diplomatic relations with Israel in 2009 in solidarity with the Palestinians, and there is currently no official Israeli representation in the country. The Venezuelan opposition, however, has expressed interest in restoring ties with Israel, according to Al Jazeera.
