Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla on Friday issued a statement condemning "Israel" for its repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon and its genocidal actions in Gaza.
The statement shared on his official Twitter account comes in light of the ongoing humanitarian crisis and violations documented by the United Nations.
"Israel is not only committing genocide in Gaza. Exploiting the international impunity granted by the US to commit crimes in the Middle East, it has violated the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon multiple times," Rodriguez said.
"Its campaign of attacks has killed 4,047 Lebanese people, including 1,106 women and children," he added.

Cuba has always been a strong supporter of Palestinian rights and sovereignty. After the Gaza war broke out in 2023, President Miguel Diaz-Canel led a popular march of thousands of Cubans along central Malecon Street to express their support for the Palestinian cause and condemn the crimes of the Israeli occupation.
Moreover, Cuba also joined South Africa's genocide case against "Israel" at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as a Third State, joining Nicaragua, Colombia, Libya, Maldives, Egypt, Ireland, Belgium, Turkiye, and Chile.
Cuba reiterates support for Syria
Earlier in the day, Rodriguez renewed Cuba’s support and solidarity with the people and government of Syria.
"We renew Cuba's support and solidarity with the Syrian people and government in facing the attacks carried out by terrorist groups on various Syrian cities," Rodriguez said in a phone call with his Syrian counterpart, Bassam Sabbagh.
He also called for "the necessity of preserving the sovereignty and unity of the brotherly Syrian state."
