During an interview with Telesur television, the senior Cuban diplomat pointed out that the United Nations Security Council should comply with its obligations.

He also urged that the General Assembly should “act with determination in the face of the paralysis” caused in its Council by the United States veto, historically and currently aimed at “guaranteeing impunity for Israel” in its permanent aggression and occupation of the Palestinian territory. .

There is no doubt that a true international crime is being committed, a true massacre, he stressed.

Rodríguez commented that the images of the Palestinian children are moving.

He stressed that is why Cuba, during the vote at the UN for the lifting of the blockade, decided to denounce these acts as an expression of policies based on what the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, called, and President Miguel Díaz-Canel recently cited, “the philosophy of dispossession and war.” “It is a crime that the international community has to stop,” remarked the Cuban foreign minister.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that Monday that in the 31 days of the Israeli attack against the Gaza Strip and in the repression in the occupied West Bank, more than 10,000 people lost their lives and more than 27,000 others were injured, mostly , children, women and the elderly.
