Venezuela agrees with Israel to establish consular services after 17-year diplomatic break
Isaac Cohen says restored diplomatic ties would better serve Venezuela’s Jewish community after Israeli disaster-response teams assisted following the June earthquakes.
- On Sunday, Chief Rabbi Isaac Cohen of the Israelite Association of Venezuela delivered a letter to interim President Delcy Rodríguez, formally requesting restoration of diplomatic and consular relations with Israel.
- Diplomatic ties were severed in 2009 under then-President Hugo Chávez, who cited Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip, beginning years of hostility that followed.
- Israel recently dispatched humanitarian specialists to Venezuela following two earthquakes on June 24, 2026, marking the most significant formal contact between the two nations since 2009.
- Foreign Minister Félix Plasencia González and Israeli counterparts agreed to establish an official coordination mechanism and renew consular services for citizens in each country.
- Rodríguez has not announced whether she will accept the request for full diplomatic restoration, though the proposal aims to address practical consular needs for Jewish Venezuelans.
