Cuban youths are leading today a national day of support for Palestine that will last until October 7, the date on which the Israeli war campaign against Gaza began, where more than 41,000 people were killed.

The call, launched by the Union of Young Communists of Cuba on Monday, urges not to remain indifferent and unite in defense of the Palestinian cause, one year after the onslaught on the coastal enclave.

During the week, several activities will be carried out to reaffirm the strong solidarity of the Cuban people with the Palestinian cause.

Mr. President;

Mr. Secretary General;

I dedicate these first words to ratify Cuba’s solidarity and support to the brotherly people of Palestine, victim of more than 75 years of colonial occupation, flagrant violations to their legitimate rights as a nation, submitted to cruelty, aggressions, collective punishments and apartheid.

It is an unacceptable tragedy, plain for all to see; it’s a wound in human consciousness.
