For the right of Palestinians to land and liberty, Venezuelan President Nicola Maduro urges the people to remain in streets until the battle is won.

"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," urged Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, during his weekly program titled "With Maduro and More."

Earlier this month, Maduro pointed out that "Israel" is bombing hospitals in Gaza, killing patients, the wounded, and people left homeless.

Maduro also noted that "Israel" had destroyed a mosque that was over a thousand years old, an Orthodox Catholic church, and attacked refugee camps.

He pointed out that the Israeli occupation has "instilled an ideology even more dangerous than Nazism, initially targeting the Palestinian people and subsequently affecting Arab, Islamic, and Christian communities."

This comes as the number of Palestinians killed in the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has surpassed 11,000 martyrs, with a complete collapse of the health sector in the Strip and a dire humanitarian crisis as a result of the siege imposed by the Israeli occupation.

Earlier, Maduro stressed that "Israel" is committing genocide against the Palestinians, affirming that his country will provide humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

The Venezuelan leader also called for an urgent international conference involving major powers to reach an agreement to stop the Israeli aggression on Gaza.

He underlined that "Israel's" bombing of mosques, hospitals, churches, and inhabited residential buildings compare to the practices of the Nazi fascist Adolf Hitler.
