Caracas, May 28, 2025 – Marking the 61st anniversary of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil publicly praised the organization’s enduring commitment to the Palestinian people’s struggle for justice and sovereignty.
In a heartfelt message shared on the Telegram social network, Gil underscored the PLO’s central role in uniting Palestinian factions and advancing the cause of human rights under the shadow of Israeli occupation.
Founded in 1964, the PLO was established to consolidate the efforts of diverse Palestinian groups in their quest to reclaim their homeland and assert their rights. Minister Gil highlighted that the PLO’s legacy is not confined to the past but lives on vibrantly in every act of Palestinian resistance today.
He emphasized that this unity represents the greatest threat to the “genocidal occupier,” affirming Venezuela’s solidarity with a free, united, and sovereign Palestine. This message resonates deeply amid escalating violence in Gaza, where over 54,000 Palestinians have lost their lives since October 2023, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.
The text reads: Today we remember the founding of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1964, established to unify the efforts of various groups seeking to vindicate the rights of the Palestinian people and confront the Israeli Zionist occupation. Over the years, the PLO has played a central role in the pursuit of a Palestinian state and the defense of human rights. Today, its legacy lives on in every act of resistance by the Palestinian people, representing what the genocidal occupier fears most: unity. Long live a free, united, and sovereign Palestine!
Venezuela’s Steadfast Support for Palestinian Self-Determination
Under President Nicolás Maduro’s leadership, Venezuela has consistently championed the Palestinian cause on the international stage. The Venezuelan government has condemned Israeli aggression and called for an end to the occupation, advocating for the recognition of Palestinian rights and statehood.
Venezuela’s position aligns with a broader leftist and anti-imperialist perspective that views the Palestinian struggle as emblematic of global resistance against colonialism and oppression.
The ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza underscores the urgency of Venezuela’s call for international solidarity with Palestine. The Venezuelan government’s condemnation of Israeli attacks and its praise for Palestinian resilience reflect a commitment to human rights and justice. Venezuela continues to urge the global community to support peaceful solutions that respect the dignity and sovereignty of the Palestinian people.
