ANKARA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro criticized Israel’s impunity despite its ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
This came at the “BRICS+” expanded meeting during the BRICS Leaders’ Summit held in Russia’s southwestern city of Kazan.
In his speech, Maduro thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin for organizing the summit and inviting his country to participate in it.
He stated that Venezuela is trying to contribute to resolving global crises, and that he discussed the Israeli attacks on Gaza and Lebanon with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
“Every time a high-precision missile falls on an apartment building in Gaza, Beirut, or Lebanon — killing men, women and children — it sets fire and destruction to the United Nations system. A new world is possible.”
The Venezuelan president asked: “Does the International Criminal Court exist only to punish the countries of the Global South?”
