8月4日付イスラエルの英字新聞「ハーレツ」はAP配信記事を次のように伝えた。
ベネズエラのウーゴ・チャベス大統領は、木曜日、（イスラエルによる）レバノンでの軍事攻勢に対する「怒り」を示すため、ベネズエラのイスラエル大使を召還したと述べた。
「我々は、我が国のイスラエル大使の引き揚げを命じた」と、チャベスはテレビ演説で言った。イスラエルのレバノン攻撃を“ジェノサイド”（「大量虐殺」）と呼びながら。
「イスラエルという国家が、持てる力の限りを尽くし、アメリカの援助を得て、どのようにして爆撃、殺戮…を続けているかを知ったら怒りがこみ上げる」チャベスは北西部のファルコン州での軍事パレードの後、こう語った。

Chavez withdraws Venezuelan envoy, citing Israeli 'genocide'

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Thursday he has recalled his country's ambassador to Israel to show his "indignation" over the military offensive in Lebanon.
"We have ordered the withdrawal of our ambassador in Israel," Chavez said in a televised speech, calling Israeli attacks in Lebanon "genocide."
"It really causes indignation to see how the state of Israel continues bombing, killing ... with all of the power they have, with the support of the United States," Chavez said after a military parade in the northwestern state of Falcon.
The leftist Venezuelan leader has repeatedly criticized Israel's offensive aimed at Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon, noting mounting civilian deaths and saying the United Nations should act to halt the violence.
"It's hard explain to oneself how nobody does anything to stop this horror," said Chavez, whose government has until recently said it had good relations with Israel.
Chavez, an outspoken critic of Washington, also criticized what he called a relentless "campaign" by the U.S. government to keep Venezuela from obtaining a seat on the UN Security Council. U.S. officials have backed Guatemala for the seat, saying Venezuela would be a disruptive influence on the council.
The Venezuelan leader, a close ally and protege of Cuban President Fidel Castro, spoke after returning from an international tour that took him to Argentina, Belarus, Russia, Qatar, Iran, Vietnam, Mali and Benin. While in Iran, Chavez called the Israeli offensive in Lebanon a "fascist outrage."
"The Israeli elite repeatedly criticize Hitler's actions against the Jews, and indeed Hitler's actions must be criticized, not just against the Jews but against the world," Chavez said during his visit to Iran, adding: "It's also fascism what Israel is doing to the Palestinian people ... terrorism and fascism."
Venezuela has both Arab immigrant and Jewish communities, and officials have insisted the government will continue to fully respect the Jewish community despite its strong opposition to Israel's war in Lebanon.
Some in Venezuela have protested against the fighting in Lebanon, including one group that burned an Israeli flag outside the Israeli embassy last month.
