Members of the National Association of Small Farmers condemned the attacks against the Palestinian civilian population, which so far have left 5,182 deaths and 17,101 injured.

Students from various levels of education denounced the atrocities perpetrated by the Zionist occupiers for decades in Palestine, in a solidarity event organized by the Union of Young Communists of Cuba.

Professors and students of the José Antonio Echeverría Technological University of Havana held an act of solidarity with Palestine on Monday, in which they reminded warnings from Fidel Castro regarding Israel’s policy of aggression, expansionism, and colonial settlement.

The Palestinian ambassador in Havana, Akram Samhan, assured at the activity that his country wants a just peace. “What we are asking for is a ceasefire, the entry of humanitarian aid and resolving the cause of this conflict, which is the Israeli occupation of our lands, and that all the resolutions that the world has adopted in favor of the Palestinian cause be put into practice, that is what we want,” he stressed.

Cuba has strongly condemned the murder of civilians and innocent people as a result of the current escalation, without distinction for their ethnicity, origin, nationality, or religious faith.

According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodríguez, a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the conflict in the Gaza Strip requires the exercise of the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and to build their own independent and sovereign State within the borders before 1967 and with its capital in East Jerusalem.
