Impact on the Venezuelan Jewish Community
The practical result of these tensions, combined with Venezuela’s broader economic collapse, has been the mass exodus of the country's Jewish population.
Drastic Decline: Since the rise of the Chavista movement (first under Chávez and continued by Maduro), the Jewish population in Venezuela has plummeted from approximately 20,000–25,000 in the 1990s to an estimated 3,000–5,000 today.
Insecurity: The community has faced specific security incidents, including raids on community centers and synagogues by security forces or armed pro-government gangs. While the government often denies direct involvement, these events have created a climate of fear.
Geopolitics: Maduro’s deepening alliances with Iran and groups like Hezbollah are a major source of anxiety for the local Jewish community, who fear these ties invite actors hostile to Jews into the country.
