Mario Díaz-Balart, a U.S. Congressman representing Florida's 26th District since 2003, recently shared his views on several international issues via social media. His tweets reflect his perspectives on Venezuela's political climate, U.S. foreign policy under former President Donald Trump, and recent allegations made against Israel by Amnesty International.
On December 6, 2024, Díaz-Balart expressed confidence in increased pressure on the Venezuelan regime led by Nicolás Maduro. He stated: "Estoy convencido de que vamos a ver esa misma presión, y mucho más, hacia el régimen de Maduro y quienes se lucran con el sufrimiento del pueblo venezolano."
The same day, he highlighted his interview with @dplacer regarding the role of former President Trump in supporting freedom causes in the Western Hemisphere. Díaz-Balart tweeted: "Mi entrevista con @dplacer: Durante sus primeros cuatro años, el Presidente Trump fue el mejor amigo de la causa de la LIBERTAD, particularmente en nuestro hemisferio."
On December 7, 2024, Díaz-Balart criticized Amnesty International for accusing Israel of genocide. He argued that such accusations undermine both the term "genocide" and the organization's credibility. He defended Israel's right to self-defense with this tweet: "Amnesty International’s outrageous accusation that Israel is guilty of genocide has diminished both the term and Amnesty International’s credibility. Israel should not be maligned simply for defending itself from terrorists bent on its destruction."
