CARACAS, July 21 (Xinhua) -- The Venezuelan government rejected on Tuesday Israel's accusations of its ties with the Islamic group Hezbollah in Venezuela.
"Those ridiculous statements are part of a plan plotted by the Israeli ultra right, in order to encourage and promote actions of different kinds against the Venezuelan government and people," the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry said in a communique.
Dora Shavit, Israeli Foreign Ministry's regional director for Latin American and the Caribbean, said in an interview with Colombian daily "El Tiempo" that Hezbollah has presence in Guajira, Colombia-Venezuela border, and in Margarita island, Venezuela.
Venezuela requested the Israeli authorities to stop the destabilization policy in Latin America.
"The terrorists who put risk on the life of thousands of innocent people are not being trained in the Venezuelan Guajira, but in the quarters and public buildings of Israel," the Venezuelan government said in a statement.
The relation between Venezuela and Israel worsened at the beginning of this year, as Israel failed to fulfill the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council on its military incursions in Gaza Strip.
