World Peace Council

The Cyprus Peace Council (CPC) denounces Israel’s murderous attack on the Palestinian people, resulting in more than fifty dead and hundreds of injured Palestinians who were demonstrating for their return to the Palestinian territories occupied by the State of Israel. All these atrocities in Gaza were being committed as the state of Israel was celebrating its 70th anniversary since its establishment and at the same time as celebrations were ongoing for the opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem, recognizing it as the capital of Israel.

The World Peace Council (WPC) denounces strongly to the peoples of the world the recent and still ongoing massacre of the Israeli army against peaceful Palestinian protesters in the Gaza strip. This new brutal crime of the occupation regime shows its cruel face and proves the arrogance of a heavily armed state which denies for more than 70 years the right for an independent State for the Palestinians, as it ought to have happened according to the UN Resolution 181 in 1947.

El Movimiento Cubano por la Paz y la Soberanía de los Pueblos, les extiende su mano amiga y manifiesta su incondicional apoyo y solidaridad con el Presidente de Nicaragua Daniel Ortega Saavedra, la Vicepresidenta Rosario Murillo Zambrana, el Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional y su revolucionario y patriótico pueblo, en momentos en que se intenta desestabilizar la paz de la nación.

Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the US from the Iran nuclear deal is a dangerous and irresponsible move, rightly condemned by the international community.

The ground-breaking 2015 deal achieved its central aim: Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapons programme. Only a president hellbent on making the world a more dangerous place would consider such a belligerent and counterproductive move. It will be seen as a step towards war and sends a threatening message to the world.

The march to a growing militarization and generalized imperialist war in the Middle East must be halted
