Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro stated Wednesday that Palestine was a victim of genocide.
In a post on X, Maduro repeated his call to the world to reach a peace agreement in Palestine that would stop the war.
He stressed that only by standing together would the global community be able to end the suffering of people in Palestine, calling on the world to end the brutal Israeli attacks on Gaza.
Maduro confirmed Venezuela's support for the resolutions of the joint Arab-Islamic summit held in Riyadh regarding Palestine.
On Tuesday, during his weekly program titled "With Maduro and More," the President urged that "the world must stay in the streets because we must win this battle for the right to life and land, and the establishment of a Palestinian state."

Earlier, Maduro pointed out that "Israel" is bombing hospitals in Gaza, killing patients, the wounded, and people left homeless, accusing it of instilling " an ideology even more dangerous than Nazism, initially targeting the Palestinian people and subsequently affecting Arab, Islamic, and Christian communities."
"Israel's" bombing of mosques, hospitals, churches, and inhabited residential buildings compare to the practices of the Nazi fascist Adolf Hitler, Maduro asserted.
He has previously emphasized that his country will provide humanitarian assistance to Gaza and appealed to Christians around the world to stand against the genocide of Palestinians.
Meanwhile, the fellow South American nations of Colombia and Chile recalled their ambassadors from "Israel" on November 1, as the Israeli occupation continues its policy of committing genocide in Gaza.
In Central America, Honduras, on November 3, recalled its ambassador to "Israel" for consultations citing the latter's violations of international humanitarian law in its aggression on the Gaza Strip.
On its part, Belize announced severing diplomatic ties with "Israel" on Tuesday.
