On Tuesday, October 31, 2023, the Republic of Venezuela condemned the “crimes of genocide” committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, considering that what the occupying army is doing is a violation of the principles of international humanitarian law.

The Venezuelan Foreign Minister, Ivan Gil, confirmed in a tweet posted on the “X” platform, “His country’s categorical rejection of the genocide against the Palestinian people by Israel, and the new attack on the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, in which hundreds of civilians were martyred and wounded.” .

He added: "Venezuela once again condemns the systematic violation of the principles of international humanitarian law, and the failure to observe and ignore the Geneva Conventions by the occupying state, which constitutes a war crime that requires an independent international investigation to determine those responsible."
