Israel and Venezuela have agreed to renew consular relations after recent discussions between Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar and Venezuelan Foreign Minister Felix Plasencia. The agreement establishes a coordination mechanism to provide consular services to citizens of both countries residing in the other nation. This marks the first official coordination channel between Israel and Venezuela since diplomatic ties were severed in 2009.

The earthquake caused billions of dollars in damage.

In a joint statement, both governments emphasized the importance of the relationship with the Jewish community in Venezuela, describing it as a significant bridge of historical friendship between the two nations.
