DayofPal– Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a “monster created by the European Union and the US Empire,” as he he is committing genocide against Palestine and Lebanon.
The Venezuelan president further compared Netanyahu to the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, adding that even Hitler did not dare to do what the Israeli Prime Minister is currently doing.
In light of the current Genocide in Gaza and the declared war against Lebanon, Maduro revealed that what is happening in the Middle East “is not a conflict, but a colonial project by the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe aimed at controlling the region.”
He continued: “Netanyahu bombed hospitals, schools, mosques, and refugee camps in Gaza. Is this a war? This is genocide.”
Commenting on Israel’s targeting of UNIFIL forces south of Lebanon, Maduro stressed that Netanyahu “still has the audacity” to give orders to the United Nations to withdraw peacekeeping forces from southern Lebanon, referring to Israel’s call to UN chief Antonio Guterres to move the UN Interim Force In Lebanon (UNIFIL) from the Lebanese side of the border.
Five UN troops were injured in a series of incidents last week, the latest of which involved the UN force accusing Israeli troops of forcibly breaching a gate and entering one of their positions, as Israel continues its aggression across Lebanon, killing more than 1,300 people since September 23.
In late September, Maduro strongly decried the Israeli assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, denouncing Netanyahu as “Hitlerish” and criticizing world leaders for their silence.
He expressed Venezuela’s solidarity with the people of Lebanon and Gaza, also drawing comparisons between the Israeli Prime Minister and Hitler, saying “We are witnessing the actions of a murderer who only reminds us of Hitler.”
