The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, through an official statement, repudiated the massacre perpetrated by Israel at the “Al-Tabein” school, located in the Al-Daraj neighborhood in the center of Gaza City.

The official letter, published on Foreign Minister Yván Gil's Telegram channel, described as “atrocious” the crime committed on August 10, which left 100 fatalities.

Below is the full text of the statement:

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela expresses its repudiation and absolute condemnation of the appalling massacre perpetrated by Israeli Zionism at the “Al-Tabein” school, located in the Al-Daraj neighborhood in the center of Gaza City, which housed the displaced population of the State of Palestine.

This atrocious war crime that occurred during the morning of this Saturday, August 10, 2024, which left more than 100 fatalities, including children, women and the elderly, and multiple injuries, demonstrates once again Israel's horrible plan of extermination and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people.

This act constitutes a new episode in the crimes against humanity that the tyranny of the Israeli government has been committing for more than 10 consecutive months and in a systematic way, increasing the risks of destabilization of the Middle East with dangerous global implications.

Venezuela reiterates its call to the international community and to the conscience of all humanity, to demand that the Israeli occupation stop the bloodshed in Gaza; the indiscriminate killing of women, children and the elderly; so that justice prevails and that those responsible for the bloody crimes committed against the brotherly people of Palestine be convicted.

The Venezuelan government expresses its absolute support and solidarity with the Palestinian people, as well as the most heartfelt words of condolence to the families and friends of the victims and a speedy recovery for the injured, while reiterating its firm commitment to diplomacy as the only way and mechanism for the resolution of conflicts that threaten the peace of the planet.
