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.

 

Condemned attacks on Gaza

 

Whenever violence flared up in Gaza, Venezuela didn’t stay silent. Maduro and his government have repeatedly condemned attacks on Gaza, calling out aggression and demanding justice for Palestinians. These statements weren’t just words—they were broadcast loud and clear on the international stage.

 

Affirmed Palestine’s rights

 

Venezuela has always backed Palestine’s right to freedom and sovereignty under international law. Maduro has spoken up at global forums, championing the Palestinian cause and pushing for their recognition as a free and independent state. For Venezuela, it’s not just politics—it’s a matter of principle.
