HAVANA, Cuba, Feb 20 (ACN) Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel expressed his solidarity with and admiration for Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, his Brazilian counterpart, who was declared persona non grata in Israel following his condemnation of the war of extermination launched by the Israeli State against the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.
“We applaud and admire your courage. You will always be on the right side of history,” Diaz-Canel stated on his X account.
“What is happening in the Gaza Strip with the Palestinian people hasn’t happened at any other moment in history. In fact, it existed: when Hitler decided to kill the Jews,” were the controversial words that earned Lula da Silva the animosity of Israel, which accused him of trivializing the Holocaust.
