Cuban government reiterates rejection of U.S. veto on peace for Palestine

Havana, Dec 10 (RHC)-- Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel reiterated on the social network X his rejection of the United Nations Security Council's inability to stop the massacre against the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.

In his message, he recalled that the world celebrated on Saturday International Day Against Genocide and today, Sunday, the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and asked:  What good are days and commemorations if they cannot stop the genocide in Gaza or the complicit veto in the UN Security Council? 

The Cuban leader repudiated the day before on that platform the veto of the United States to a new draft resolution of the United Nations Security Council (UN) that demanded a ceasefire in Gaza.

"Enough of impunity for Israel. History will never forget those who could have stopped the genocide and did not," he wrote in reference to the complicit actions of the United States in that UN body that frustrated the approval of a draft resolution presented by the United Arab Emirates calling for a definitive ceasefire. 

The text vetoed by Washington received last Friday the approval of 13 members of the body and had the co-sponsorship of a hundred countries represented in the UN, including Cuba, while the United Kingdom abstained. 

Israel's aggression against the Palestinian population has caused more than 17,400 deaths and some 46,400 wounded in Gaza since October 7. 

On December 1, clashes resumed when the humanitarian truce agreed a week ago between the Zionist state and the Hamas movement, with the joint mediation of Qatar, Egypt and the United States, expired.

In the face of the new escalation, the voices in favor of a two-state solution as the only possible way to achieve a lasting peace in the region are multiplying. (Source: Prensa Latina).
