According to a notice published on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Martínez urged people to reject the massacre perpetrated by the Israeli army during a mass celebrated at the Church of San Francisco de Asís.

In his speech, the diplomat asked how many children and defenseless beings should die, how many schools and hospitals should be destroyed, to stop the genocide against Palestine and other countries in the region.

He also recalled that the “Cuban Revolution has always been a tireless defender of peace, peaceful coexistence and the right of the Palestinian people to independence, as established by the resolutions of the United Nations.”

The ceremony was attended, among others, by members of the government of Antigua and Barbuda, members of the diplomatic and consular corps accredited in the country and representatives of institutions of solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people.
