Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro warned of the risk of a third world war if the "insane Nazi Netanyahu" escalates the situation against Iran. 

Maduro questioned what the United States would have done had another nation targeted and attacked its consulate, and if it would have sufficed to release a statement with no response. 

"If this were to happen, the US would invade that country," Maduro affirmed, recalling the war crimes it carried out in Afghanistan and Iraq. 

Maduro also said that "fascist Zionism, sponsored by the US, incites chaos and violates international law," urging for diplomacy and de-escalation. 

Previously, Venezuela's Foreign Minister, Yvan Gil, said that the Middle East's instability has spiked over the recent weeks due to "Israel's" political irrationality, its genocide in Gaza, and the United Nation's inaction.

Genocide committed by 'Israel' in Gaza endangers ME: Bolivarian Union

Earlier on Tuesday, the Bolivarian Union of the Peoples of Latin America emphasized that "Israel's" genocide in Gaza has endangered the stability of the Middle East.

In a statement, the Bolivarian Union emphasized that "Israel's" impunity, coupled with the Security Council's inaction, particularly its silence regarding the illegal attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, has posed a serious risk of regionalizing the conflict, with unpredictable consequences.

The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA), consisting of Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, urged the United Nations Security Council to diligently pursue an immediate and enduring ceasefire in Gaza.

They emphasized the importance of guaranteeing essential humanitarian aid provisions and fostering conditions conducive to achieving stable and enduring peace in the region and the imperative of preventing any further escalation that could exacerbate suffering and instability.
