Venezuela expels Israeli Ambassador in response to events in Gaza Strip

The Venezuelan authorities have demanded that the Israeli Ambassador should leave the country in protest against Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip and the violation of the international legislation.
Some other members of the diplomatic mission will leave Caracas together with the Ambassador, reports “Interfax” referring to the BBC.

Venezuela has become the first country to have made such an abrupt diplomatic step in connection with the aggravation of the crisis in the Middle East. In its turn, Israel will expel the Venezuelan diplomat in response to the actions of Caracas.
