    As the gubernatorial elections are taking place today (October 15) in Venezuela, Israel calls for free, fair and credible elections with independent domestic and international observation.

    • Israel calls on the Venezuelan government to protect the ability of its citizens to exercise their constitutional rights to vote and to ensure that the regional elections are conducted in a free, timely, and transparent manner that respects the prerogative of the Venezuelan people to shape the course of their country.
    • Israel urges the Venezuelan government to allow the Venezuelan opposition to freely compete for these positions.
