The leaders of Cuba and Venezuela were among the relatively few countries that condemned the killing of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah last Friday in an Israeli airstrike. Nicolás Maduro and Miguel Díaz-Canel joined heads of countries like Syria, Iran, Russia and Turkey with their messages.
Speaking at a political rally in Caracas, Maduro described the killing as the "assassination of a leader in the Muslim world, of the Arabic people, Mr. Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Hezbollah."
