00:00This Monday, Venezuelan activists held a rally in Caracas in defense and in solidarity with the peoples of the Middle East,
00:06victims of Zionist imperialism.
00:08They condemned the genocide being carried out in Palestine,
00:10as well as the recent attacks by the Israeli army against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
00:15Our correspondent Shada Fall has all the details.
00:21Citizens and activists from various organizations gathered this Monday in Plaza Morales,
00:25in the capital of the country responding to a call from the Platform for Solidarity with Palestine.
00:31In an act of condemnation of the violence perpetrated by Israel in the Middle East,
00:34they expressed their full support for the people of the Gaza Strip.
00:42That heroic people, that people who resist there, to that attack.
00:46They are massacred, indiscriminately children, women, elderly people.
00:49And we oppose this action as militants for the causes of the world, for peace against war,
00:56and as all Bolivarian and revolutionary militants must always be ready to do.
01:03Members of a Venezuelan delegation that traveled to Egypt last week
01:11to join the large humanitarian aid convoy to Rafal were also present.
01:14However, the authorities of that country prevented them from passing
01:17and the march, with thousands of activists, was also unable to reach its destination.
01:22From the capital of the country, they continue to express their solidarity
01:25and reiterate their call for international mobilization to end the genocide.
01:32Today we are telling the people of Gaza that we are with them,
01:35that we are demanding that the whole world raise its voice
01:37so that humanitarian aid can enter Palestine.
01:39Because it is not only bombs that have ended the lives of Palestinians,
01:44hunger is also ending them due to the lack of food.
01:50In a global context marked by the inaction of most governments,
01:58brotherhood among the peoples of the world is key to continuing the fight
02:01against the imperialism of Irel and its allies.
02:03We see how peoples around the world are the ones who determine effective solidarity.
02:12Not just the government, because we can see how institutions such as the United Nations,
02:17the Organization of American States,
02:19or the entire international regime or international state
02:23are not effective in stopping this genocidal aggression by the Zionist regime.
02:27So only through popular mobilization,
02:36only with the Venezuelan people, the Brazilian people,
02:39the French people, all the peoples of the world
02:40who have been mobilized in the streets.
02:49Is it that I believe, and we are convinced,
02:51that we will be able to stop the massacre,
02:53to stop the genocide against the Palestinian people?
02:55Since October 2023, more than 57,000 Palestinians have been killed
03:09by the Israeli army, which is expanding its war policy
03:11in the Middle East every day.
03:14In the face of these massacres,
03:15Venezuelans reaffirm the right of all peoples of the world
03:18to peace, autonomy and sovereignty.
