In a statement on Monday, Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla called out the Israeli aggression and shelling on Syria, after the Occupation bombed the Damascus Airport on Sunday. 

The diplomat posted on X: "Cuba strongly condemns the recurrent bombings carried out by Israel against Syria, in particular against the Damascus airport, in flagrant violation of International Law and the sovereignty of that country. The impunity with which Israel acts must end."

#Cuba condena de manera enérgica los recurrentes bombardeos llevados a cabo por Israel contra Siria, en particular contra el aeropuerto de Damasco, en flagrante violación del Derecho Internacional y de la soberanía de ese país.

La impunidad con la que actúa Israel debe cesar.

— Bruno Rodríguez P (@BrunoRguezP) November 27, 2023

Back in October, Bruno Rodriguez also decried the terror attack on the graduation ceremony for officers of the military academy in Homs, Syria.

"Cuba condemns the terrorist attack that occurred during the graduation ceremony of cadets at the Military Academy in the Syrian province of Homs. Our full solidarity with the Syrian people and government, and heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the victims," Parrilla wrote on X.

#Cuba condena el atentado terrorista perpetrado durante la ceremonia de graduación de cadetes de la Academia Militar en la provincia siria de Homs.

'Viva Palestina'

Cuba has been speaking loudly on the war on Gaza and condemning "Israel" for its ongoing genocide.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel recalled last month the words of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro Ruz, 63 years ago, in his speech before the United Nations General Assembly.

"From the beginning of human history, wars have arisen, fundamentally, for one reason: some people's desire to deprive others of their riches. Let the philosophy of plunder disappear, and the philosophy of war will have disappeared."

#Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel told #AlMayadeen that over 3,000 children and 1,700 women have been killed in Gaza due to the ongoing Israeli aggression on the #Gaza Strip.

Diaz-Canel pointed out that "this broad and deep idea summarizes the reason for the suffering of the Palestinian people today, who are besieged under a new apartheid system of racial segregation on a small piece of land."

Diaz-Canel led a march of thousands of Cubans along central Malecon Street three days ago to express support for the Palestinian cause and condemn the crimes of the Israeli occupation.

Invited by the Cuban Young Communist League, participants chanted slogans in support of the Palestinian people. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla took part in the march, as well as the Secretary-General of the Workers' Central Union of Cuba Ulises Guilarte, and the Palestinian Ambassador to Cuba Akram Samhan.

The Cuban Interior Ministry said on X that 100,000 people took part in the hour-long march. It was the biggest of several such pro-Palestinian rallies held in Cuba since the Israeli aggression on Gaza started on October 7.

The march passed by the US Embassy in Cuba, where some participants raised banners that read, "This embassy sponsors terrorism" and carried Palestinian flags.
