Resistance Factions Across West Asia Condemn the Imperialist U.S. Attack on Venezuela

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine denounced what it called an “imperialist American aggression” on Venezuela, including airstrikes and missile attacks on Caracas and civilian, residential, and military sites, casting it as a new episode of ‘organized American terrorism” against sovereign states. The Front declared “unlimited” solidarity with President Nicolás Maduro and argued Venezuela is being punished for an anti-hegemony stance and for backing Palestine, portraying Washington’s pretexts as a cover for “imperial piracy” and resource theft. It affirmed Venezuela’s right to resist “by all forms,” urged a unified international progressive front, and warned the escalation risks igniting wider conflicts.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad condemned the U.S. assault on Venezuela as an escalating campaign, from blockade to direct strikes, aimed at domination, occupation, and plunder, and a flagrant breach of sovereignty and international law. PIJ framed Venezuela as targeted for its steadfast support for Palestine and regional resistance forces, describing the struggle as part of a shared anti-imperialist battle. It declared full solidarity with Maduro’s government and called on global liberation movements to oppose the aggression and defend the principle of self-determination.

Hamas condemned the U.S. attack on Venezuela and the alleged kidnapping of President Maduro and his wife, calling it a grave violation of international law and the sovereignty of an independent state. The movement cast the assault as an extension of unjust U.S. interventions driven by imperial ambition that have destabilized multiple countries and threatened international peace. Hamas urged the UN, especially the Security Council, to take measures to stop the attack immediately.

PFLP–GC portrayed the U.S. attack on Venezuela as “organized international American terrorism” and a warning to any actor betting on Washington’s role. It declared alignment with Maduro and the Venezuelan people against what it described as Trump-era bullying, tying U.S. conduct to its backing of “israeli” actions against Palestinians. The statement called for broad global solidarity to prevent the “fire of chaos, killing, and hegemony” from spreading further.

Ali Faisal (DFLP) condemned the U.S. assault on Venezuela as a blatant breach of international legitimacy and an attack not only on Venezuela’s independence but on Caribbean and Latin American security more broadly. He emphasized solidarity from Palestinians “in all components” and urged international institutions and global public opinion to move urgently to stop the aggression. Faisal expressed confidence that Venezuelans would withstand the assault and thwart its objectives.

The Popular Resistance Committees denounced the U.S. attack on Venezuela and the alleged kidnapping of Maduro and his wife as the apex of “global fascism and savagery,” portraying the U.S. as an enemy of all free peoples. The PRC urged Venezuelans to resist the invasion, affirmed their right to self-determination, and called on the UN and free peoples to confront what it described as a bid to seize Venezuela’s resources. It framed the assault as proof of the “ugly face” of successive U.S. administrations.

Hezbollah condemned what it described as U.S. terrorist aggression and bullying against Venezuela, including strikes on civilian and vital infrastructure and the alleged abduction of Maduro and his wife, calling it an unprecedented violation of sovereignty and UN norms. Hezbollah framed the attack as part of Washington’s wider project of domination, resource extraction, and war-making, accusing the U.S. and “israel” of shared colonial behavior and warning the assault threatens any independent state resisting hegemony. It affirmed full solidarity with Venezuela and urged governments and “free peoples” worldwide to denounce the attack and support Venezuela’s right to defend its sovereignty.

Fatah Al-Intifada condemned the U.S. strike as “American terrorism” aimed at imposing dominance not only over Venezuela but over the wider Caribbean basin and its resources. It argued confronting the assault is a duty extending beyond Venezuela to allied states, international bodies, and the UN Security Council, casting this as a test akin to the world’s responsibilities during Gaza’s ongoing war. The movement declared solidarity with Venezuela and predicted the inevitability of peoples’ victory over imperial aggression.

Masar Badil (the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement) described the assault as a flagrant violation of international law and a logic of “criminal annihilation.” The statement claimed Washington’s objective is to seize Venezuela’s “strategic shared resources,” especially oil and minerals, and framed the stated “fight against drug trafficking” as a pretext for imperialism. It called for worldwide mobilization in solidarity with Venezuela, endorsed the Bolivarian government’s sovereign decision to respond through armed struggle, and urged demonstrations at U.S. embassies, declaring: “As in Palestine… in Venezuela, they shall not prevail!”
