Cuba condemns Israeli aggression

Cuba: The Association of Cuban-Arab Friendship and the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) condemned the persistent policy of abuses and violations of the Israeli Government against the Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip.

In a joint statement released Saturday in Havana, both organizations condemned the Israeli military occupation that has killed many Palestinians and demanded the immediate declaration of independence of that State. “We also condemn the recent brutal Israeli aggression against the solidarity mission with humanitarian aid for the Arab people, action in which several people were killed and others injured”, adds the text.

“This massacre once again demonstrates the reactionary nature of the Tel Aviv regime and its disrespect for United Nations, which in 1967 agreed through the Security Council Resolution 242 to demand the withdrawal of Israel from the newly occupied territories.”, recalls the statement.

The text warns against the sweet words of US President Barack Obama, whose Government hides its unconditional alignment with Israel, despite the unanimous rejection worldwide.
