afrasianet - Maduro calls Netanyahu "a monster created by the European Union and the US empire," stressing that "Hitler did not dare to do what he is doing."

 Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is "waging genocide against Palestine and Lebanon and what is happening is not a war."

Netanyahu "still has the audacity to give orders to the United Nations to withdraw the peacekeepers in southern Lebanon on the orders of the Security Council," he said.

Maduro also called Netanyahu "a monster created by the European Union and the US empire," stressing that "Hitler did not dare to do what he is doing."

Maduro said on the Oct. 7 anniversary that "what is happening today in the Middle East is not a conflict, but a colonial project of the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe, and its goal is to control this region."

"Israel assassinated Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Ismail Haniyeh for the ceasefire that was near," he said.

"Netanyahu bombed hospitals, schools, mosques and camps for displaced people in Gaza. Is this a war? This is genocide."
