The government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela once again calls attention, along with the peoples of the world, to the horror of the deaths of innocent women and children, a consequence of the invasion of the Gaza Strip by Israeli troops, and the harsh air and ground bombing undertaken by the state of Israel over Palestinian territory.
In this tragic and shocking time, the people of Venezuela express their unrestricted solidarity with the heroic Palestinian people, share the pain felt by thousands of families over the loss of their loved ones, and offers it hand in affirming that the Venezuelan government will not rest until those responsible for these atrocities are severely punished.
The government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela emphatically condemns the flagrant violations of international law by the state of Israel, and denounces the use of state terrorism that has pushed the country to the margins in the concert of nations.
For the reasons mentioned above, the government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has decided to expel the Ambassador of Israel and some of the personnel of the Embassy of Israel in Venezuela, reaffirming its call for peace and its urging of respect for international law.
The government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has instructed its Mission to the United Nations to, along with the majority of governments who feel the same, pressure the Security Council to apply urgent and necessary measures to stop this invasion by the state of Israel against Palestinian territory.
President Hugo Chávez, who has had meetings with high level representatives of the World Jewish Congress and has always opposed anti-Semitism as well as all types of discrimination and racism, makes a brotherly plea to the Jewish people of the world to oppose these criminal policies by the state of Israel, which are a reminder of the worst moments of the history of the 20th century.
With the genocide of the Palestinian people, the state of Israel will never be able to provide its people with the option of a necessary and lasting peace.
