Venezuela külügyminisztériuma elrendelte Izrael állam nagykövetének és a nagykövetség teljes személyzetének kiutasítását, tiltakozásul a Gáza ellen folyó zsidó terrorháború miatt.

A dél-amerikai ország elnöke, a szocialista Hugo Chavez a napokban már gyilkosoknak nevezte a néhány nap alatt sokszáz palesztin civilt elpusztító izraelieket és felszólította a Venezuelában élő zsidókat, hogy foglaljanak állást az izraeli barbarizmus ellen.

Chavez hozzátette, hogy országa igyekszik élemiszert és orvosi felszereléseket eljuttatni a Gázai övezetbe a palesztinoknak.

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela ordered the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador on Tuesday to protest Israel's military offensive in the Gaza Strip.

Venezuela's government is expelling the Israeli ambassador and all embassy personnel in response to Israel's military offensive in the Gaza Strip.

Socialist President Hugo Chavez has condemned the Israeli campaign in Gaza, where nearly 600 Palestinians have been killed in ground and air strikes.

Israel launched the attacks Dec. 27 to stop Palestinian militants from firing rockets into southern Israel.

Chavez earlier condemned the Israelis carrying out the military campaign as "murderers" and urged Jews in Venezuela to take a stand against the Israeli government.

"Now I hope that the Venezuelan Jewish community speaks out against this barbarism. Do it. Don't you strongly reject all acts of persecution?" Chavez said.
