Havana, March 30 (RHC)-- Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez demanded an immediate end to Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people and reaffirmed solidarity with that cause, as Palestinian Land Day is commemorated today.
On his X account, the Cuban foreign minister urged that this date, promulgated in 1976, constitute an urgent call for justice.
"We demand an end to the genocide against this sister people and reaffirm our solidarity and commitment to their just cause. Palestine must be independent and sovereign, with the pre-1967 borders," Cuba's top diplomat wrote on the social network.
Today, the Caribbean island commemorates Palestinian Land Day, in remembrance of the murder of six young people from that country during a demonstration against the dispossession of their land by the Zionist regime.
The day before, on Saturday, residents of the capital commemorated the 49th anniversary of the first general strike by the Palestinian people demanding their rights and against the theft of their land by Israel, during an event held at the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP).
"The Palestinian war is not another territorial conflict. It is a human rights crisis, where fear and mistrust have become part of daily life," declared Mohammed Bheisi, a Palestinian medical student in Cuba. Bheisi thanked the Cuban government and people for their displays of solidarity.
For his part, ICAP President Fernando González affirmed that the Caribbean country will continue to demand an end to the Israeli genocide against Palestine and the recognition of that nation as a state by the United Nations.
"The Palestinian people are deprived of human rights, including the right to life," González stated during the solidarity event attended by Teresa Amarelle, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party (PCC).
"We are here to denounce before history the crime being committed against Palestine. The genocide of which its people are victims is an open wound on the conscience of humanity," declared Fernando González, President of ICAP and Hero of the Republic of Cuba.
