The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba condemns, in the strongest terms, the continued air strikes perpetrated by Israeli government forces against the residential areas of Beirut and Damascus, in flagrant violation of International Law, including International Humanitarian Law.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez condemned the recent Israeli attack on the facilities of the Arab television network Al Mayadeen in Beirut, Lebanon. Through the social network X, the head of Cuban diplomacy affirmed that the act constitutes a clear violation of International Humanitarian Law. The day before, the Israeli occupying army bombed the Pan-Arab Channel office in the Lebanese capital, which had been evacuated since the beginning of the aggression against Lebanon.
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.
Cuba, as a unique example, has been at the forefront of international solidarity with other peoples. And now, it is the time for all of us to stand by the side of Cuban people and government and demand: remove Cuba from the list of states which allegedly sponsor terrorism immediately!
