IDF is helping Venezuela in the longest humanitarian assistance mission in the history of the Home Front Command
Remarks by the Commander of the National Search and Rescue Unit and Head of the Emergency Mission to Venezuela, Brig. Gen. (Res.) Yossi Pinto:
We are currently in the area of greatest destruction in La Guaira, near Caracas, Venezuela.
The coastline here has sustained extensive damage. Hundreds of buildings have been destroyed, making this a complex and large-scale disaster.
We are now at the beginning of the mission’s third week of operations. Approximately 32 Israeli experts are working here, assisting the Venezuelan authorities in transitioning from the immediate emergency response phase to the rehabilitation phase.
Our primary effort is focused on offering the knowledge, experience, and capabilities we have accumulated in Israel and around the world. We are helping develop a national situational assessment, supporting decision-making processes, setting priorities, and laying the groundwork for the long-term rehabilitation effort.
This is a phase that will continue for many months and even years. Our goal is to provide them with the best professional tools available to help them address the complex challenges ahead.
We are working in close cooperation with the local authorities. They are highly receptive to the recommendations and insights we bring, and the fact that the Israeli mission continues operating here even after most international missions have already departed adds significant value to the overall effort.
I hope that our joint work and the tools we are leaving behind will help Venezuela address the rehabilitation challenge as effectively as possible in the years ahead.

🇺🇸🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — Earlier, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) published a footage showing the strikes conducted last night, announcing the end of the 9th Wave of strikes against Iran
In Statement, it had said:
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) successfully completed the ninth consecutive evening of strikes against Iran, July 19, at 10 p.m. ET.
CENTCOM assets targeted Iranian military command centers, air defense and coastal surveillance sites, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and communications networks to further diminish Iran's ability to attack commercial vessels and civilian mariners transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. military is holding Iran accountable at the Commander in Chief's direction. CENTCOM forces remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready.

🇳🇮🚫 — ⚠️ URGENT: Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega has explicitly ruled out any possibility of democratic alternation in the country by stating that his regime will not allow electoral processes in which the opposition has a chance of winning
➡️ Nicaragua has been governed since 2007 by Ortega, an 80-year-old former Sandinista guerrilla, amid allegations of electoral fraud or the elimination of opposition forces to prevent competition. Since 2017, he has shared power with his wife, Rosario Murillo.
❗️ He announced that his government will work with Parliament "and with the organizations responsible for the laws so that they put up a wall, a barrier, against the coup plotters, the sellouts, and that no matter how much money the Yankees (United States) give them, they will not succeed."
❌ In mid-February 2025, Nicaragua enacted a constitutional reform that eliminated the balance of powers and granted total authority to Ortega and Murillo. The reform has been strongly criticized by the United Nations, the Organization of American States (OAS), the United States, the European Parliament, and Nicaraguan opposition groups.
➡️ The reform extended the presidential term from five to six years, established the figure of "co-president," made the government "coordinate" the other "organs" of the State, which are no longer referred to as branches of power, and legalized statelessness.
🇺🇸 In January, the U.S. State Department accused Murillo of creating the position of "co-president" in Nicaragua without elections, without a mandate, and without legitimacy, "because she knows she cannot win" in a free electoral process.

🇺🇸🤝🇧🇷⚡️ — Former federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL) received a Green Card in the United States, granted by the administration of President Donald Trump
➡️ The measure guarantees the former lawmaker the right to live, work, and study in the country indefinitely. The benefit was also granted to his wife, Heloísa Bolsonaro, and the couple's two children, Geórgia and Jair Henrique, aged 5 and 2, respectively.
➡️ The decision came after an application submitted more than a year ago and grants rights similar to those of U.S. citizens, except for voting rights. The approval comes at a time of heightened diplomatic tensions between the governments of Brazil and the United States. Recently, the Trump administration imposed a new 25% tariff on Brazilian products.
💬 Journalist Paulo Figueiredo, an ally of Eduardo, celebrated the Trump administration's decision:
❗️ With Eduardo Bolsonaro's new immigration status, the possibility of extradition to serve a sentence in Brazil becomes even more distant. U.S. law now provides legal protections to the former lawmaker while he is on American territory.

— Eduardo is now protected by the U.S. Constitution. (...) Any act of persecution or censorship, for example, against him, could fall within the same context as the actions that have already led to U.S. sanctions against Brazil — he stated.
