Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez lamented the state of indifference practiced by some toward Palestine and Gaza and warned them that history will judge those who remain indifferent to the plight of Palestinians.
Following a meeting with members of Let Cuba Live, the Cuban President posted on X: "Palestine hurts, and not doing something for its sake should hurt us every day."
"That [Palestine] is the location that defines the global struggle for justice and dignity," he added, stressing that "history will judge those who remain indifferent to the plight of Palestinians."
Concluding his post, Diaz-Canel affirmed that Cuba will remain on the side of those who do not belong to this category.
Palestina duele, y nos tiene que doler todos los días que no hagamos algo por ella. Allí se define hoy la lucha mundial por la justicia y la dignidad.

Nuseirat massacre proof of Israeli genocide against Palestinians: Cuba
Cuba's support for Palestine and condemnation of Israeli crimes have been unwavering since day one.
Two days ago, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez strongly condemned the Israeli massacre in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
In a post on X, Rodriguez said the Nuseirat massacre was "another evidence of the genocide that Israel commits with impunity against the people of Palestine."

Late last month, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel condemned the Israeli massacres in Gaza and called for intensifying solidarity with Palestine.
In a post on X, the Cuban President stressed that the world must stop the massacre of the Palestinian people now.
He added that the devastated camps in Rafah stand as "a great affront to humanity," further emphasizing, "How many more will have to die for the genocide to end?"
Earlier, in an interview for Al Mayadeen, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said that what is happening in Gaza is a "monstrous genocide".
He said that it should be stopped and the people must be heard.
