Camagüey, October 19.- Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and Minister of Foreign Affairs, released today a statement regarding the escalation of violence unleashed in Palestinian territory and reiterated the support of the largest of the Antilles to this town.
The foreign minister stated that the Caribbean nation strongly condemns the indiscriminate bombings against the population in Gaza and the destruction of homes, hospitals and civil infrastructure.
The minister reiterated that “the current situation is a consequence of 75 years of illegal occupation, of the violation of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people in their own territory; of Israel's aggressive and expansionist policy.
“The impunity with which Israel acts can only be explained by its complete confidence that there will be no consequences for its actions and that it has the support of the United States government and its other NATO allies (North Atlantic Treaty Organization),” said Rodríguez Parrilla.
Cuba urgently calls for a ceasefire, demands an end to the warlike rhetoric and demands that the United States government not continue to paralyze the United Nations Security Council to protect the Israeli government, said the diplomat.
