Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar on Monday denounced before the Paraguayan parliament that Venezuela’s socialist regime is the main “nexus” that facilitates the presence of Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis in the region.
Sa’ar traveled to Paraguay as part of a whirlwind South American tour that will continue on Tuesday with a visit to Argentina, where he will meet with President Javier Milei. During his stay in Paraguay, the Israeli foreign minister met with conservative President Santiago Peña and other government officials.
Sa’ar described Paraguay as one of Israel’s greatest friends and noted that relations between the two nations are based not only on mutual interests but on shared values.
Sa’ar welcomed the Paraguayan government’s designations of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as terrorist organizations.
