Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has reiterated his country’s commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause, calling it the “most just cause for humanity.”
Speaking at the International Conference in Solidarity with Palestine on Friday in Caracas, Maduro stated, “If you look at the reasons for the struggles since the last century to create a just world, the Palestinian cause is the most just cause for humanity.”
The significance of the date coincides with the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, which was established by the UN General Assembly in 1977 and is observed annually on November 29. This date marks the anniversary of the 1947 resolution that proposed the partition of Palestine.
In a resolution passed on December 1, 2005, the General Assembly requested that the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People and the Division for Palestinian Rights organize annual exhibits or cultural events celebrating Palestinian rights, in collaboration with the Permanent Observer Mission of Palestine to the UN.
Maduro emphasized the importance of the Palestinian cause, which he stated holds a “central place” among humanitarian struggles advocating for independence, peace, and a fair state. “Palestine is the cause that unites humanity,” he added.
“We will continue to support the Palestinian cause in the strongest ways,” Maduro said, asserting, “The day will come when we will meet in the streets of Al-Quds as victors.”
The Venezuelan president also cautioned against complacency with regard to the Israeli regime.
“Notice how the Zionists signed the agreement and then turned to Syria, launching attacks through the terrorist groups they sponsor, which are now attempting to take control of Aleppo,” he said.
“The Zionists and their supporters aim to invade, crush the Arab people, and seize the wealth of the Arab nations,” he noted.
