The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, expressed his firm rejection of what he described as a «criminal attack» perpetrated by Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran. In an international context marked by growing tensions, the President warned that this event could trigger a worldwide escalation of the conflict.
An act that violates international law:
President Maduro asserted that the Israeli attack clearly violates the United Nations Charter and international law, putting the stability of the Middle East at risk: «We express our categorical rejection and repudiation of this attack, which threatens the region on a scale we cannot imagine,» he stated during a press conference.
UN in a moment of transformation:
From his perspective, the debate in the UN Security Council highlights a moment of change and decline in the traditional global system:
«I view the discussion at the UN with sadness and hope,» asserted President Maduro. For him, the process reflects the death of a system and the birth of a different global scenario. «One sees it as a mixture of sadness and hope… the sadness that it is dying… just as it happened with the League of Nations,» he added.
International solidarity with the oppressed peoples:
The Bolivarian leader reiterated his support for the peoples affected by the war escalade, including Iran, Palestine, Yemen, Syria, and Lebanon: «Our solidarity with all Muslim and Arab peoples, and our support in the search for peace,» he stated emphatically, highlighting the importance of unity in the fight against the aggressor and the defense of thew sovereignty of the states.
A historical comparison: From nazism to the 21st century:
The President drew a parallel between current politics and the events of the past, noting that, just as Hitler received support and weapons from Western powers, Netanyahu currently enjoys the backing of Western countries: «Europe and the United States are doing the same thing they did with Hitler,» he maintained, questioning the complicity of London, Paris, and Washington.
The President affirmed that the conflict between Israel and Palestine is not motivated by religious motives, but rather by geopolitical interests that have emerged since the creation of the State of Israel: «History repeats itself,» he lamented. «Netanyahu has been allowed to massacre the Palestinian, Syrian, and Lebanese people. We are witnessing a genocide live and in direct”.
For peace, dialogue, and international justice:
The President reaffirmed that the Venezuelan government’s stance remains against war, fascism, and what he called «the new Nazi-Zionism»: «We say yes to peace, to dialogue among civilizations, and to respect for international law,» he concluded, emphasizing his commitment to a comprehensive vision of justice and sovereignty.
