Venezuela’s turn to Israel is about survival, not conviction

Delcy Rodriguez is courting Israel only to secure Washington’s support and undercut her main rival.

Venezuela's shift towards Israel aims for survival rather than conviction

Recent gestures include thanking Israel for disaster assistance and signalling openness to renewed diplomatic ties.
