Venezuela's Guaidó Says He's in Talks to Restore Ties with Israel
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In an interview with an Israeli newspaper Tuesday, Guaidó-who declared
himself Venezuela's interim president last month-said he is in the
process of restoring ties with Israel. Venezuela severed its
relationship with Israel a decade ago under the leadership of Hugo
Chávez, who instead developed links with Palestinians. Guaidó also
suggested he was considering opening the new Venezuelan Embassy in
Jerusalem, following in the footsteps of the U.S., which last year drew
international condemnation after it moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to
Jerusalem-a city that Palestinians want as part of a future state.
