Venezuela Restores Diplomatic Ties with Israel
Israel and Venezuela announced the resumption of diplomatic relations between them after more than 17 years of severance, marking the culmination of negotiations and cooperation arrangements during which an agreement was reached to establish a coordination mechanism for providing mutual consular services. This step comes as part of Israel's efforts to strengthen its relations with right-wing governments in Latin America, especially in light of increasing pressures and protests against it in the region following the war on Gaza. Various diplomatic measures have been imposed on Israel, including the expulsion of ambassadors and the severing of relations. Indications suggest that Venezuela is moving toward re-establishing contact with Israel despite popular opposition, having previously been known for its supportive stance towards Palestinians and rejection of the occupation. Diplomatic relations between the two countries have been halted for more than a decade and a half. The announcement follows a day after Colombia recognized Israel's sovereignty over the Syrian-occupied Golan Heights, a move related to Israel's regional and strategic interests in the area.
