“The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela strongly condemns Israel’s lethal attack against Palestinian citizens in Gaza, which massacred at least 104 civilians, this February 29, 2024, while they were waiting for the supply of humanitarian aid, north of the enclave.
This abominable fact adds to the continuous inhumane and extermination actions against innocent and defenseless civilians that have been occurring since the beginning of the escalation of violence on October 7, 2023; until now, under the absolute impunity of the Israeli government.
We denounce once again, before the international community, the systematic practice of annihilation and genocide carried out by the Zionist forces against the people of Palestine in the territory of the Gaza Strip.
Venezuela reiterates the urgent call to the international community and international organizations, based on the moral, legal and humanitarian responsibilities of the States, to put an end to the flagrant arbitrariness on the part of Israel and its violation of international laws and conventions and the prevailing need to stop the continuous war crimes against the Palestinian people, which almost five months into the conflict amount to more than 30,000 deaths.
We express our willingness to continue supporting initiatives and efforts that contribute to the search for a comprehensive, just and lasting peace solution to the Palestinian issue; to consider Israel’s withdrawal from the occupied Palestinian territories based on the 1967 borders; and that allows the establishment of the independent Palestinian State, with East Jerusalem as its capital.”
