The international community will always be able to count on Cuba to defend peace and multilateralism and promote the enjoyment of all human rights for all

I bring from Cuba a message of solidarity and support for the Palestinian people. The indiscriminate attacks against the civil population and the United Nations workers; the bombings against hospitals, ambulances and schools and the mass destruction of housing and vital infrastructure are a collective punishment as well as a serious violation of International Humanitarian Law. We stand in solidarity with all victims and share the grief of the Arab and Hebrew communities in Cuba. These are war crimes and crimes against humanity that must be stopped now. The international community must force an immediate ceasefire in the light of the veto which paralyzes the Security Council thus ensuring the criminal impunity of this genocide.
