Madam Vice-Chair;
Excellencies;
Distinguished delegates;
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.
