The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela ratified its support for the State of Palestine on Thursday, during a meeting held in Caracas by the People’s Power Minister for Foreign Relations, Jorge Arreaza, and the Palestinian ambassador Fadi Alzaben.
Foreign Minister Arreaza reaffirmed the support of the Government and the people of Venezuela for the sovereignty, independence and self-determination of the Palestinian people.
Recently, the Venezuelan ambassador to the UN, Samuel Moncada, strongly condemned Israel’s indiscriminate bombing of the civilian population in the Palestinian territories as part of an aggression “that endangers regional peace”.
On May 27, the UN Human Rights Council approved, in a special session, a historic resolution by which an independent international commission is urgently established to investigate the violations and abuses of fundamental guarantees in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem.
The document was approved with 24 votes in favor, 9 against and 13 abstentions.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in various forums of international political agreement, has maintained a firm position in favor of the sovereignty and self-determination of the State of Palestine.
