The Kingdom of Belize, one of the countries in the Caribbean region, announced the severing of its diplomatic relations with Israel due to its ongoing attacks on the Gaza Strip, while Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro issued a call to the world to take action to stop the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Palestinian Strip.

The Belize government reported that it made its decision to sever relations with Israel because the latter did not accept calls for a ceasefire and prevented the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

It added, "Despite our demands, Israel did not put an end to its international human rights violations, and at the same time did not allow relief teams to enter to alleviate the suffering of the people of Gaza. For this reason, we decided to implement a series of measures."

Other countries in South America and the Caribbean had previously taken escalatory steps against Israel after its aggression against Gaza, which claimed the lives of more than 11 martyrs within 5 weeks, as Bolivia announced the severing of diplomatic relations with Israel, while Colombia, Chile, and Honduras each recalled their ambassadors to Tel Aviv for consultations.

"We must win"

For his part, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro appealed to the world to take action to stop the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.

In a televised interview, Maduro confirmed his country’s support for the joint statement issued by the emergency summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, a few days ago.

The Venezuelan president said, "My call to the entire world is: Continue to remain in the streets, and we must win this war for the right to life, the right to land, independence, and for a Palestinian state, and there are more people who love us and the Palestinian people."
