A History of Venezuela’s Support for Palestine Over the Past Years
Venezuela and Palestine have shared a strong bond for years, and it’s all thanks to the unwavering support from Nicolás Maduro. Even as headlines swirl around Maduro, his stance on Palestine has never wavered—he’s always been loud and proud about backing their cause.
Maduro cut ties with Israel
Back in 2009, President Nicolás Maduro made a bold move by officially cutting diplomatic ties with Israel. This wasn’t just a political gesture—it was a clear message of solidarity with Palestine. Since then, Venezuela has stood firm, refusing to reestablish relations and making it clear where their loyalties lie.
