- On Tuesday, August 11, both governments said they had agreed on technical cooperation for emergency and recovery efforts and a mechanism to provide consular services to their citizens in both countries.
- Venezuela had severed diplomatic ties in 2009 after Israeli attacks on Gaza; consular contacts can signal a rapprochement without restoring full diplomatic relations.
- Since the United States military abduction of Nicolas Maduro, interim President Delcy Rodriguez has pursued a major realignment that includes closer ties with US President Donald Trump and a move away from longtime ally Cuba.
- Israel’s relations with several countries in the region remained deeply strained over the war in Gaza, while Chile and Honduras returned their ambassadors to Israel the previous week.
"The Governments of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the State of Israel report that they have agreed to continue bilateral technical cooperation derived from the emergency and recovery efforts following the double earthquake, as well as to establish a coordination mechanism for the provision of consular services to their respective citizens residing in both countries," he said.— Felix Plasencia Gonzalez, Venezuela’s minister of foreign relations, in a statement describing the decision to restore consular ties following the twin earthquakes
