More than expressing outrage

Venezuela has expelled the Israeli ambassador to protest against… the country’s… assault on Gaza,… after the Venezuelan president described it as a “holocaust”.

Venezuela’s foreign ministry said in a statement that Israel’s campaign constituted “flagrant violations of international law” and the use of “state terrorism”.

“For the reasons mentioned above, the government of Venezuela has decided to expel the ambassador of Israel and part of the personnel of the embassy of Israel,” the statement said.
