Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the continued air strikes perpetrated by Israeli government forces against residential areas in Beirut and Damascus, in flagrant violation of International Law, even International Humanitarian Law.
US complicity with violent acts against Cuba is strongly rejected
Declaration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba strongly rejects a new US act complicit with terrorist violence against Cuba.
The US judicial authorities have decided to release Alexander Alazo, the individual who, on April 30, 2020, stood in the middle of the street and shot 32 rounds with a machine gun against the Cuban embassy in that country, at the moment when 7 persons stayed inside the building.
This action, perpetrated on a central avenue of Washington D.C., the US capital, against a diplomatic mission, with the stated purpose of causing damage, would qualify as a terrorist act in any country of the world. But that is not the case in the United States, much less when this is about a violent action against Cuba. The government of that country has all the while refused to recognize this act for what it is. At any one time did it have the intention to prosecute the perpetrator as a terrorist, despite the fact that the nature of his actions is explicitly typified in the US legislation against that scourge.
Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba expresses deep concern over the unfolding events in the Middle East, driven by the aggressive policies of the State of Israel, with military, logistical, and political support from the U.S. government. These actions have led to a dangerous escalation, further undermining regional stability and security, and provoking a response from Iran.
Nearly a year after the brutal genocide carried out by the Zionist government against the Palestinian people, and in a blatant display of disregard for the principles enshrined in the UN Charter, the Israeli government, instead of pursuing a negotiated solution to secure a ceasefire, has escalated and intensified its irresponsible aggression against Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.
