  • Ben Jeddou calls for founding of new world order from Caracas

During the Voices of the New World Forum held in Caracas, Al Mayadeen's Chairman of the Board, Ghassan Ben Jeddou, delivered a powerful address urging the foundation of a new international order based on justice, ethics, and human dignity, with revolutionary Venezuela, under the leadership of President Nicolas Maduro, at its helm.

Ben Jeddou argued that the current unipolar world, dominated by Western and Atlanticist powers, particularly the United States, is nearing its end. He described the present global order as structurally unjust, morally bankrupt, and incapable of addressing international crises or upholding fundamental human rights.

“The world as it is today cannot continue,” he stated, adding, "There is no future for a unipolar world, especially one dominated by American and Western Atlanticist hegemony."
 
Ben Jeddou placed particular emphasis on the ongoing genocide in Gaza, which he described as the clearest example of the ethical collapse of the Western order.

He quoted President Maduro’s remarks at the Bogotá Summit on July 18, 2025, about the bombing of civilian infrastructure in Gaza: "Each bomb that falls on a Palestinian hospital or school not only kills innocent lives but destroys the foundations of global peace and deepens the international moral collapse."

Ben Jeddou condemned the silence of international institutions, especially the United Nations, describing it as "complicit and cowardly." He pointed to the case of UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese and ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan as examples of how even the voices of justice are punished.

'Sadistic starvation in Gaza': A weapon of modern fascism

Describing the current siege of Gaza, Ben Jeddou warned of what he called a new form of "sadistic starvation", where food, water, and infant formula are intentionally denied. He condemned the celebratory behavior of Israeli settlers dancing at Gaza’s border as children die from hunger.

"We are not just witnessing killing, we are watching people enjoy starvation, while the cameras of the world are rolling," he said. He criticized US President Donald Trump, citing a recent remark in which Trump responded to a question about starving children in Gaza by saying, "It was a mistake to give Gaza to the Palestinians."

Ben Jeddou stressed that the current international system, with its institutions, courts, and powers, no longer upholds human justice, but instead protects imperial interests.

"We need a new world led by legitimate, elected leaders with popular mandates, who value human dignity more than markets and war profits."
 
Highlighting the role of the Global South, Ben Jeddou argued that Latin America, particularly Venezuela, is best positioned to lead the formation of a new multipolar global alliance rooted in ethics, sovereignty, and solidarity. He referenced statements by regional leaders, including Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who said, “If Palestine dies, humanity dies. We will not let it die.”

Additionally, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said, "Palestine is where the global fight for justice and dignity is being defined today."

Fascism and hypocrisy at the core of the current order

Ben Jeddou described the rise of modern fascism and Nazism not only in "Israel" but throughout the Atlanticist world. He accused the West of exporting coups, chaos, and terrorism under the guise of democracy and human rights.

He criticized electoral coercion, media propaganda, and Western imperialism, asserting that the so-called democratic values of the West have been exposed as hypocritical and violent. "Today, fascism is not just an ideology, it is a system that controls elections, media, culture, and uses violence to enforce hegemony."
 
In an important segment of his speech, Ben Jeddou addressed the role of religion in resistance. He cited Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Islamic Republic of Iran as key examples of how faith-based movements have become leading forces against Western aggression.

He referred to the assassination of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in 2024, recalling President Maduro’s tribute: "The assassination of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is the assassination of a great leader in the Islamic and Arab world. Venezuela stands in solidarity with Hezbollah and Lebanon."

Ben Jeddou emphasized that religious forces can serve as engines for liberation and progress, not just regression, and must be included in any new global alliance.

He concluded with a proposal: that the Voices of the New World Forum become the founding conference of a permanent platform for building a just international order. "Let this forum be the foundational congress for a new world. Let Caracas become the annual host, as the capital of a renewed Global South, committed to justice, liberation, and confronting international fascism."
 
Ben Jeddou ended his speech with a clear invitation, "Let us stop chasing illusions. Let us unite around real, existing forces that defend humanity. Let us identify our enemies, the imperial powers, genocidal regimes, and corporate vampires, and let us recognize our allies. The Global South, and Venezuela in particular, are ready to lead."
