Le ministère des affaires étrangères de Cuba se dit extrêmement préoccupé par cet acte de terrorisme d'État et l'enlèvement de députés et de ministres palestiniens.

Havana, Jun 30 (Prensa Latina) - Cuba condemned the Israeli military aggression against the Gaza"s Strip, saying that criminal act put the Middle East at risk of escalating violations that endanger international peace and security.

At a statement published by Granma newspaper Friday, the Cuban Foreign Affairs Ministry (MINREX) states "extreme concern" over the large-scale military operation started by Israel at daybreak June 28, 2006.

Israel, notes the daily, has used as a pretext to launch its criminal aggression the detention of one of its soldiers by the Palestinian resistance.

In June alone its army killed 52 Palestinians, included nine children, international organizations reported.

The text reviews damages caused by the full invading contingent and criticizes the detention of relevant figures from the Palestinian Authority government and members of the Palestinian Legislative Council.

The MINREX call for the international community and peace-loving forces to demand from Israel the immediate and unconditional withdrawal from Gaza, the end of the Israeli State terrorism and respect for the Palestinian people"s inalienable rights.
