Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez expressed his support in a letter, for full Palestinian membership in the United Nations, The Wall Street Journal reported.

He also branded the US and Israel as perpetrators of "Palestinian genocide" in the letter that was sent to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the annual General Assembly, according to the report.

Chavez was unable travel to New York as he is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer in Cuba.

The Palestinian bid "represents an act of historic justice towards a people who carry with them, from time immemorial, all the pain and suffering of the world," Chavez reportedly wrote.
