Since this offensive began on October 7 after a Hamas attack, around 30,000 Palestinians have died as a result of indiscriminate bombing attacks by Israeli aircraft and artillery on the Gaza Strip.
The day before, President Miguel Díaz-Canel and the Cuban foreign minister repeated complaints about United States complicity in the Israeli massacre after that northern power vetoed a resolution for a ceasefire introduced by Algeria in the United Nations Security Council.
This initiative also aimed to end the forced displacement of the Palestinian population.
Cuba argued today before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, Netherlands, about the consequences of Israel's activities against the Palestinian people and other Arab residents of the occupied territories.
The document presented by the island on June 25, 2023 requires a clear and direct statement setting out all the legal consequences arising from Israel's genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The Cuban complaint particularly highlights the injustices and historical atrocities that have characterized the apartheid regime's actions for more than 70 years in preventing the Palestinian people's exercise of self-determination and their right to live in their territories.
