The Committee against Apartheid in Palestine, led by lawyer Lalu Hanuman, in coordination with the Embassy of Cuba, called for an activity of public denunciation and floral offering for the victims of the most recent massacre committed by the Israeli army against the defenseless people Palestinian who caused hundreds of deaths and thousands of wounded during his just protest for the transfer of the US Embassy to Jerusalem, ignoring the dialogue and all resolutions of the UN General Assembly, cynically choosing the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Israeli state that caused the Nakba massacre; the Cuban ambassador, Francisco Fernández, when speaking before the symbolic Monument to the Victims of Terrorism for the sabotage of the Cuban airplane in 1976, announced the official declaration of the Revolutionary Government of Cuba for this new terrorist act of Zionism (See text)
“The Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Cuba expresses its strongest condemnation of the criminal repression of the Israeli army against the defenseless Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip, which has killed at least 52 people and left more than 2,400 injured. This fact constitutes another serious and flagrant violation of the UN Charter and International Humanitarian Law and a new outrage against the Palestinian people.
“Cuba reiterates its rejection of the unilateral action of the United States government to establish its diplomatic representation in the city of Jerusalem, in outright disrespect for international legality and the resolutions of the United Nations, which further aggravates tensions in the region. .
“The Revolutionary Government once again reiterates its unrestricted support for a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, based on the creation of two states, which allows the Palestinians the right to self-determination and to have a independent and sovereign state in the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
