The diplomat from the Caribbean nation reiterated Cuba’s condemnation of the genocide committed by Israel against the Palestinian population in Gaza and the West Bank and reaffirmed his country’s unconditional support for the Palestinian cause, which includes the creation of a sovereign and independent state within the pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Metani, for his part, highlighted the historic brotherly relations between the two countries, while expressing his gratitude for the island’s firm stance in support of the inhabitants of Gaza and the West Bank.

The Palestinian diplomat reaffirmed his people’s determination to continue the resistance even in the most difficult conditions and assured them they will emerge victorious.
