Cuba's solidarity with Palestine recognized in Lebanon
The Embassy of Palestine in Beirut witnessed a Lebanese and Palestinian diplomatic and political meeting, at the invitation of the Independent Nasserite Movement - Al-Murabitun, in order to thank the friendly countries that defend Palestinian human rights against the brutal Israeli aggression.
The movement presented honorary shields to the ambassadors of the countries that humanely support the Palestinian cause, headed by His Excellency the Ambassador of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Qian Minjian, His Excellency the Ambassador of the Russian Federation, Mr. Alexander Rudakov, His Excellency the Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba, Mr. Jorge P. León Cruz, His Excellency the Ambassador of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, Mr. Rachid Belbaqi, His Excellency the Ambassador of the Republic of Tunisia, Mr. Bouari Al-Imam, His Excellency the Ambassador of the State of Palestine, Ashraf Dabour,
In thanking Cuba for the recognition, Ambassador Jorge Leon Cruz reaffirmed the solidarity with the people of Palestine and denounced the Israeli aggression, in light of today's continuation of the genocide in Gaza.
During a ceremony at the Palestinian embassy here, the Cuban diplomat conveyed his condolences to the families and friends of the martyrs fallen in defense of their lands and against Israel's criminal practices.
In the opinion of the Antillean representative, the calculated insensitivity of U.S. imperialism and its Western allies for the Palestinian cause is crushed by the ever-growing international support that repudiates the Israeli apartheid regime.
Incidentally, he endorsed the positions of the Cuban government, parliament and people in condemning the murder of civilians, especially women, children and workers of the United Nations system.
On this point, León rejected the indiscriminate Israeli bombardments against the population in Gaza and the destruction of homes, hospitals and civilian infrastructure, as well as the deprivation of water, electricity and fuel services, actions that constitute serious violations of International Humanitarian Law.
In this regard, he denounced the illegal practices and the continued colonization of Palestinian lands by Israel as the occupying power and the complicit protection of the United States.
In this line of message, he reiterated the call to the international community to assume its responsibilities to provide protection to the Palestinian people, in accordance with the relevant United Nations resolutions.
At the same time, he demanded pressure on the Tel Aviv government to put an end to the policy of extermination and genocide against Palestine.
On the occasion, León thanked the international solidarity, particularly Lebanese and Palestinian, with the Cuban people in the struggle against the blockade imposed by the White House on the island for more than six decades.
Organized by the Nasserite Independent Movement (Al Mourabitoun), the activity highlighted the support of Cuba, China, Russia, Algeria and Tunisia to the struggle of the Palestinians for their rights and independence against the Israeli occupation.
