The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela condemns, in the strongest terms, the attacks perpetrated by Israel in the South of Beirut and its surroundings, this September 28, 2024, “causing an atrocious massacre that left at least 25 people dead and 108 injured, in addition of the assassination of the political leader of the Lebanese militia, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Hezbollah.”
The information was announced by the Chancellor of the Republic, Yván Gil, through an Official Statement posted on his Telegram channel.
In the letter, Venezuela warns that “Israel acts in alliance with the United States through false peace negotiations and deceptive and endless diplomatic maneuvers, while orchestrating and executing macabre plans to assassinate.”
Below is the full statement:
More than 1,000 people died and some 6,300 were injured due to Israel’s bombings against Lebanon in the last 12 days, reported the interim Lebanese Minister of Health, Firas Abiad, quoted by Sputnik and reviewed by AVN.
