Following the removal of President Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela's Jewish community is watching events unfold with cautious optimism. While many are hopeful for change after years of repression and dwindling numbers, fear of retaliation and antisemitic rhetoric persists, especially given the country's history of targeting Jewish institutions and its ties to Iran and Hezbollah. The community remains low-profile, wary of celebrating too soon as armed militias still roam the streets and interim leadership signals uncertainty. Despite these concerns, there is hope that new leadership could restore ties with Israel and improve conditions for Jews in Venezuela.
