Cuba joins South Africa’s case against the Israeli entity at ICJ

Cuba has announced its decision to join South Africa’s genocide case against the Israeli entity at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as a Third State, amid increasing aggression by Israeli occupation forces against civilians in the Gaza Strip.

This decision aligns Cuba with a growing list of countries supporting South Africa’s lawsuit.

The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement on Friday affirming Cuba’s “unwavering and sustained commitment to supporting and contributing as much as possible to legitimate international efforts to put an end to the genocide committed against the Palestinian people.”

The statement emphasized that acts of genocide, apartheid, forced displacement, and collective punishment are unacceptable in the modern world and must be unequivocally condemned by the international community.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez also expressed his solidarity with Palestine, criticizing the global indifference to the plight of Palestinians. In a recent meeting with members of Let Cuba Live, the President underscored the importance of taking action, stating on X: “Palestine hurts, and not doing something for its sake should hurt us every day.”

He further remarked that Palestine represents the central battleground for justice and dignity worldwide and warned that history will judge those who remain indifferent to Palestinian suffering.

Diaz-Canel concluded his post by reaffirming Cuba’s commitment to standing with those who resist oppression, indicating that Cuba will persist in supporting Palestine and rejecting indifference to their cause.

Cuba’s decision to join the ICJ case underscores its dedication to international justice and human rights, marking a significant step in the global effort to address and condemn actions against Palestinians in Gaza
