A Deepening Global Divide

Maduro’s condemnation highlights growing international polarization surrounding Israel’s ongoing military offensives, particularly its June 13 attacks on Tehran and several major Iranian cities. The strikes reportedly killed multiple senior Iranian military officials, scientists, and civilians, prompting strong reactions from across the Muslim world and now extending to Latin America.

Speaking with visible emotion, Maduro denounced what he called “violent and inhumane acts” committed by the Israeli government under Netanyahu’s leadership. He also accused the international community, especially Western powers and institutions like the United Nations, of complicity through their silence.

“Western countries have armed him, funded him, and handed him missiles to commit these atrocities,” Maduro said.

Maduro’s Challenge to the West

The Venezuelan leader didn’t hold back in criticizing the positions of Germany, France, and the United States, accusing them of hypocrisy and double standards.

“What are Berlin, Paris, and Washington saying about the Zionist regime’s recent aggression against Iran? Will they continue cheering on the Hitler of the 21st century in his crimes against the noble and peace-loving people of Iran?” he asked.

Maduro also called on Jewish communities around the world, especially those in Israel, to speak out against Netanyahu’s policies, warning that history would remember those who remained silent or complicit in the face of war-driven extremism.

“Where will all this hatred and violence lead? Do they think missiles and bombs will break the will of the people of the world?”

Rising Regional Tensions

Maduro’s remarks come just one day after Israel launched a massive airstrike campaign on various Iranian sites, which Israeli officials described as a “preemptive strike” aimed at neutralizing strategic threats. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a stern warning in response:

“The regime must await severe punishment. The powerful hand of the Islamic Republic’s armed forces will not let them go unpunished, God willing.”

The incident has raised fears of a wider conflict between Israel and Iran, one that could threaten not only the stability of the Middle East but also the global economy and international security architecture.

What’s Next?

While Maduro’s voice adds moral pressure to the global discourse, it remains unclear whether his comments will influence the decisions of major world powers. Still, his statement reflects the mounting global frustration over Israel’s aggressive military policies and the perceived inaction of Western governments.

In an increasingly fractured global landscape, Maduro’s fiery denouncement could either amplify demands for international accountability or further deepen the divide between East and West, North and South.

Dalam satu kenyataan rasmi yang disiarkan menerusi saluran media kerajaan dan platform antarabangsa, Maduro mengecam tindakan Israel serta mengkritik sikap berdiam diri para pemimpin global yang menurutnya seolah-olah merestui kekejaman yang sedang berlaku.

“Dunia mesti mengekang Netanyahu sebelum segalanya terlambat. Sikap membisu para pemimpin dunia amat memalukan. Kami menyatakan sokongan penuh kepada rakyat Lebanon, Palestin, Syria, Yaman dan Iran,” kata beliau dalam satu sidang media yang disiarkan secara langsung dari Istana Miraflores, Caracas.

Sokongan Venezuela terhadap Dunia Islam dan Anti-Zionisme

Presiden Maduro juga menegaskan bahawa Venezuela secara konsisten berdiri bersama negara-negara yang ditindas, khususnya negara-negara Islam yang menjadi mangsa kepada dasar perluasan kuasa Zionis. Venezuela merupakan antara negara yang tidak mempunyai hubungan diplomatik dengan Israel sejak tahun 2009 selepas konflik Gaza, dan kerap menyuarakan sokongan terhadap perjuangan rakyat Palestin.

Dalam perkembangan berkaitan, kenyataan ini turut dibuat selepas laporan serangan udara Israel yang didakwa menyasarkan infrastruktur awam dan hospital di Gaza, serta serangan terhadap kemudahan di Syria dan Lubnan yang turut mendapat kecaman masyarakat antarabangsa dan badan hak asasi manusia.

Pendirian BRICS dan Peralihan Sentimen Global

Sebagai anggota pemerhati dalam inisiatif BRICS+, Venezuela kini dilihat menyertai gelombang negara-negara Global South yang semakin lantang menentang dominasi kuasa Barat dan dasar luar Israel. Negara-negara seperti Rusia, China, Afrika Selatan, dan Iran turut menyuarakan kebimbangan terhadap tindakan Israel yang dilihat bertentangan dengan undang-undang antarabangsa dan resolusi Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB).

Beberapa badan antarabangsa, termasuk Human Rights Watch (HRW) dan Amnesty International, turut menggesa penyiasatan bebas terhadap jenayah perang yang didakwa dilakukan oleh Israel, termasuk penggunaan kekuatan berlebihan dan sekatan terhadap bantuan kemanusiaan di wilayah yang diduduki.

Reaksi Antarabangsa dan Tekanan Diplomatik

Kenyataan Maduro ini dijangka meningkatkan lagi tekanan diplomatik ke atas kerajaan Israel, yang kini berdepan kritikan bukan sahaja daripada negara-negara Islam dan Arab, tetapi juga daripada sebahagian masyarakat awam dan tokoh politik di Eropah serta Amerika Latin sendiri.

Sehingga kini, tiada maklum balas rasmi dikeluarkan oleh kerajaan Israel terhadap kenyataan Presiden Maduro, namun jangkaan pemerhati politik menjangka retorik seumpama ini akan terus meningkat selaras dengan perubahan geopolitik global yang menyaksikan kebangkitan semula blok anti-hegemoni Barat.
