Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says that the US is behind Israeli military operations against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
"The ground invasion at the border of Gaza is supported and driven forward by the government of the United States," said Chavez on Monday.
On the 11th day of the assault, at least 555 Palestinians have been killed and some 2,790 have been wounded in the area that is also under an Israeli blockade.
The Venezuelan president also on Monday urged Israel to stop its 'genocidal' attacks on Gaza.
"It is not known what plans they [US leaders] have to extend the war in the Mideast and other parts of the world," Reuters quoted Chavez as saying.
Meanwhile, the outspoken critic of Washington asked the United Nations and other countries to help end the Israeli offensive.
"It is necessary to denounce the Israeli government as a killer government, a genocidal government and the world should stand up - the United Nations, the governments of the European continent, of the Mideast, of Arabia, the Arab world, the great countries of the world - we should all state and demand - as Venezuelan demands - with our voice and our morality to cease the invasion on the Gaza border and the killing of thousands of innocents," he said.
Earlier, Chavez condemned Israel for its air raids, saying, "The US is the only government compliant in the attacks."
