The Venezuelan chancellor also warned that NATO has become the biggest threat to world peace.

Venezuela’s Foreign Minister, Yvan Gil, said on Wednesday that his country condemns terrorist actions in Lebanon, in exclusive statements to the multi-platform information teleSUR, prior to its intervention at the 79th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN).

In that sense, he said that “Israel has put the world in a state of total insecurity”, with the implementation of “terrorist actions that put all humanity at risk”.

He also said that “we are seeing an Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, totally out of control,” with the cyber attacks against the population of Lebanon last week, and the bombings that have taken place in recent days.

Gil also reiterated the condemnation of the South American country to “the Zionist state of Israel, which for years has made a massacre against Palestine, but since October 7 became a true genocide”, by the death of children, women and the constant bombardment of infrastructure of all kinds.

“We will ask the international community to mobilize to condemn this,” he said.

The Venezuelan chancellor also warned that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has become the world’s greatest threat to peace and stressed that, in “Latin America sees genuine governments like that of Ecuador or Argentina that allow the installation of military bases and put at risk the stability of the region”.

Gil also stressed the importance of the BRICS bloc for Venezuela, with which the South American country participates in the BRICS Plus format.

“We will continue working with the BRICS because it is a work window,” he said.
