Permanent Mission of Cuba to the United Nations Office at Geneva

Ambassador Rodolfo Benítez Verson speaks at the Interactive Dialogue with the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including East Jerusalem, and we should meet and discuss the issue.

In the last 20 months, 55,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, most of them children. We pay tribute to the 463 humanitarian workers, including 319 UN workers, also killed.

This genocide must stop, without conditions or delay. It is a wound on the human conscience.
