Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, on his program Con Maduro +, echoed Attorney General Tarek William Saab’s strong condemnations of United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk.

Saab demanded Türk’s resignation, accusing him of complicity in the starvation and extermination of Palestinian families in Gaza, where thousands suffer under relentless Israeli bombings.

The Venezuelan Attorney General reported a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where most families subsist on half rations and a third go days without food. According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, over 549 Palestinians have died and more than 4,000 have been injured attempting to obtain food since May 27.

Despite the serious accusations, Volker Türk has not responded.

President Maduro stated that Attorney General Saab is correct in criticizing the UN High Commissioner’s office, claiming Volker Türk has politicized and manipulated it to favor Washington and European elites.

President Maduro criticized Türk for ignoring Venezuela’s complaints about the kidnapping of 252 Venezuelans (including 18 children) in the United States, the persecution of migrants, and the ongoing massacres in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria.
