More than 100,000 Cubans, since early Thursday morning, gathered in a massive demonstration to demand an end to the Israeli genocide in Palestine and show their solidarity with this people.
In the José Martí Anti-Imperialist Tribune, located on the Malecón, in front of the U.S. Embassy, the headquarters of the event were: The first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, and other senior government officials, Majed Abu Al Hawa, Palestinian chargé d’affaires of the diplomatic mission in Havana.
Young Palestinians studying at universities on the Caribbean island and representatives of civil society organizations thanked the island for its unconditional support, stating that “Cuba’s example is a hope for our people.”
From the stage, speakers denounced the brutal Israeli offensive, while audiovisual testimonies of members of the Palestinian freedom flotillas, who were attacked and kidnapped on the high seas by the Zionist army while trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, were projected.
Within the framework of this mobilization, Cuba reaffirmed its commitment to the Palestinian cause “until victory always” and called for a global boycott of Israel, urging nations to break diplomatic relations and expel the Zionist state from international organizations.
The second secretary of the Union of Young Communists of Cuba, Yaliel Cobo, denounced at the event the “historical complicity of successive administrations of the White House” and affirmed that today that government does not feel the slightest remorse for the genocide in Gaza, where more than 67,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have died.
