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. Cuba condemns, in particular, the air strike launched on November 14 by Israeli forces occupying the Syrian Golan against the residential neighborhood of Mezzeh, in Damascus, where diplomatic missions and United Nations offices accredited to Syria are located. We likewise condemn the daily Israeli attacks against the southern suburb of Beirut, near the Hazmieh neighborhood. Such attacks have occurred in areas very close to the Cuban diplomatic missions in Damascus and Beirut.
Declaration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba reiterates its deep concern about the escalation of violence between Israel and Palestine, which is a consequence of decades of Israeli illegal occupation and colonization practices, in flagrant violation of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people in its own territory, as well as the long-lasting disregard of the Purposes and Principles of the United Nations Charter and International Law, including numerous relevant UN resolutions.
