Mr Abbas, who is currently on a three-day visit to Latin America, thanked Mr Maduro for providing them with a fuel source outside Israel.
He said: “Thank you Venezuela for helping to break the monopoly that Israel has over our economy.
“Thank you Venezuela for responding to our needs.
“Thank you Venezuela for being available to continue to lend the Palestinian people more support in their fight.”
No date has been given for the shipment.
Mr Abbas has also requested that Palestine be granted observer status in three South American organisations: the Union of South American Nations, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States.
