The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 was awarded to Maria Corina Machado "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy"
Machado is undoubtedly an ally of Benjamin Netanyahu. In the past, the right-wing leader had even declared that if she gains power, she will restore diplomatic relations with Israel.
María Corina Machado had expressed her solidarity with Israel following the surprise October 7 attack by Hamas. Machado, who was then an opposition primary candidate, had criticised Hamas’s “terrorist attacks” on Israel. She had said terrorism must be defeated at all costs and “whatever form it takes.”
In 2020, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner’s party, Vente Venezuela, signed a cooperation agreement with Likud to cooperate on “political, ideological and social issues … strategy, geopolitics and security.” For the unversed, Likud – National Liberal Movement is the right-wing Israeli political party whose chairperson is Benjamin Netanyahu. “The struggle of Venezuela is the struggle of Israel,” she had said on X in 2019.
There is a claim that in 2018 Machado sent a letter to Netanyahu asking for the use of “power” (possibly including military intervention) against the Venezuelan government.

From María Corina Machado, Venus, Caracas, December 4, 2018.
To Mr. Mauricio Macri, President of the Argentine Republic Casa Rosada. Balcarce 50, C1064) Buenos Aires, Argentina
And Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of the State of Israel, 3 Kaplan St. Hakirya, 91950 Jerusalem, Israel
The Venezuelan people need international protection against the widespread and systematic attacks to which they are subjected by the Venezuelan regime. This is demonstrated in the report dated May 29, 2018, presented by the Organization of American States to the International Criminal Court. This report has served as the basis for nine states, including Argentina, to denounce the regime before that international body. We are deeply grateful for this action, which is crucial to the outcome of the Venezuelan tragedy.
It should be noted that it is not only our population that is suffering from the widespread and systematic attacks of the current regime. Its criminal nature, closely linked to drug trafficking and terrorism, represents a real threat to other countries, including, and most notably, Israel. The current regime, which has hijacked the powers of government in Venezuela, displays its close collaboration with Iran and extremist groups, which, as we all know, pose an existential threat to Israel and have acted on Argentine territory. The tragedies of anti-Semitism experienced at the AMIA in 1994 (Terrorist Attack in Argentina) still resonate across the continent, and their echoes reach our country (literally no one fucking knows about or cares this except for Argentinians and zionist chuds).
I am convinced that the international community, in accordance with the doctrine of the responsibility to protect, is called upon to give Venezuelans the support they need to bring about the urgent regime change required to restore national and international security. For this reason, I have recently sent letters to several of the world’s leading leaders with the aim of promoting the adoption of effective protection measures for Venezuela by the United Nations Security Council through the promotion of regime change, a measure that necessarily implies a strengthening of international security. Today, I would like to ask Israel and Argentina to contribute their expertise and influence to move toward sound and urgent decision-making in the Security Council.
Such measures are imperative in the face of a source of hemispheric insecurity such as the regime currently oppressing Venezuela. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organization for Migration have certified that the current crisis of refugees fleeing Venezuela is the largest in the history of the Americas. Argentina is an example of this crisis, having taken in hundreds of thousands of our compatriots, a gesture for which Venezuelans will always be grateful. However, we must be aware that without a change of regime in our country, hemispheric and global security will be at risk.
On the other hand, it should be noted that the significant Jewish community that had settled in the country, a beacon of collaboration, alliances, contribution, and mutual admiration, has been reduced to a small number in recent times. Venezuela was one of the countries that supported Resolution 181 at the United Nations General Assembly on November 29, 1947, which led to the creation of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948. Therefore, it is our hope that the Jewish community will flourish again in Venezuela and contribute to our free development, as it did during the decades of democracy, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence. A Venezuela renewed in its prosperity and democratic tradition will cultivate a close relationship with Israel.
She’s literally ignoring the fact Maduro comes from a Sephardic Jewish family that was forced to convert to Catholicism.
Warm greetings from Venezuela, whose national territory I am unable to leave due to the provisions of the tyranny currently ruling my country.
