Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, denounced the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people on the occasion of Palestinian Land Day.
In Gaza, more than 72,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 170,000 wounded, the minister noted.
Israel, the occupying power, continues to restrict the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip and the work of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), and continues to usurp Palestinian territories, he pointed out.
Cuba’s foreign minister stressed the urgent need for international recognition of an independent Palestinian state, with pre-1967 borders, East Jerusalem as its capital, and a guarantee of the return of refugees.
Also today, Miguel Díaz-Canel, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and President of the Republic, reaffirmed Cuba’s solidarity with the just cause of the Palestinian people.
The Head of State emphasized on social media that this population has been illegally, violently, and persistently dispossessed of its lands by the genocidal government of Israel.
“Let the philosophy of dispossession cease, and the philosophy of war will cease,” Díaz-Canel concluded, quoting Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro from his first address to the United Nations (1960).
Palestinian Land Day commemorates the events of March 30, 1976, when six unarmed civilians were killed by Israeli forces and dozens were injured during protests against Israel’s confiscation of Palestinian land.
