At an emergency UN session convened after the Venezuela earthquake, representatives of China, Tunisia, Iran, and Turkey made accusations against Israel. Iranian and Turkish delegates alleged Israel possesses earthquake-causing technology and called for an investigation into Israel. The session was meant to coordinate the international rescue effort, which The Zioneer reported has swelled to 16 nations.
On Saturday, an emergency UN Security Council session convened to discuss the international response to the devastating earthquake in Venezuela quickly devolved into a platform for anti-Israel accusations, according to a report by the Arab World 301 the source, which closely tracks Arabic media outlets.
The channel's account, presented as a satirical critique of the UN, described the following exchanges: China's representative questioned Venezuela's preparedness and blamed the US and Israel for the damage. Tunisia's delegate called attention to Gaza casualties. Iran's representative suggested a link between the earthquake and the presence of Hezbollah operatives in Venezuela, and alleged Israel may possess technology capable of causing earthquakes. Turkey's delegate demanded an investigation into Israel over these unsubstantiated claims.
As The Zioneer reported over the past three days, an international rescue effort for Venezuela has grown to at least 16 nations, with the EU activating its civil protection mechanism. Israel has been weighing a humanitarian aid mission to the quake-stricken country, which lacks formal diplomatic ties with Jerusalem since 2009. The UN session was expected to focus on aid coordination. The report did not indicate any official Israeli response.
