[Venezuelan Foreign Minister: Venezuela and Israel Agree to Resume Consular Services] Venezuelan Foreign Minister Prasencia announced on social media on the 11th that Venezuela and Israel have agreed to resume consular services. The announcement stated, "The two countries agree to establish a coordination mechanism to provide consular services to their citizens residing in each other's countries when needed."
