Israel Supports America: The proposal to end decades of US sanctions on Cuba has received strong support in the United Nations General Assembly. The proposal brought by Cuba was supported by 187 countries, including India. The proposal demands the end of economic, trade and financial sanctions imposed by the US on Cuba. These sanctions have affected Cuba's development and economic opportunities, and Cuba has been constantly appealing to end these sanctions.

Long-standing controversial sanctions

After Fidel Castro's revolution in Cuba in 1960 and the nationalization of US assets, the US imposed economic, trade and financial sanctions on Cuba. Since then, a proposal is brought every year in the United Nations to challenge these sanctions. However, in 2015 and 2016, then US President Barack Obama relaxed these sanctions somewhat, but in 2017 President Donald Trump tightened them again.

Only Israel supported America

The US and Israel voted against this resolution, while Moldova abstained from voting. Only Israel has supported the US in previous years as well. This resolution has been receiving overwhelming support in the United Nations General Assembly for the last three decades, but the US is firm on its stance and is not ready to lift these sanctions.

Political uproar in Argentina

Cuba's support of this resolution has caused political uproar in Argentina. Argentina's Foreign Minister Diana Mondino has been removed from her post for voting in favor of lifting the US sanctions. Argentina's Ambassador to the US Gerardo Verthin has been appointed in her place by the President.

India's View

Sneha Dubey, India's First Secretary at the United Nations, supported the resolution and said that India stands in solidarity with this assembly and opposes domestic laws with foreign influence. She said that these sanctions have hindered Cuba's sustainable development and the progress of the 2030 Agenda. India stressed the need for a free and sanctions-free environment for Cuba.

Cuba's appeal

Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez criticized the US sanctions, saying that these sanctions hinder Cuba's development and access to energy resources. He stressed that Cuba needs an opportunity to develop its true potential and rejected the US claim that these sanctions have been imposed for the benefit of the Cuban people.

US stand

The US has justified the sanctions imposed on Cuba in the name of protecting democracy and human rights. US Deputy Ambassador Paul Falsby said in the United Nations General Assembly that the US is trying to promote democracy and fundamental freedoms in Cuba.

Conclusion

This issue is decades old and gets support in the United Nations General Assembly every year. The sanctions imposed on Cuba have not only hindered its economic development but have also hindered its access to many essential resources. The response of most countries in the world in support of Cuba raises questions on the tough stance of the US. It is hoped that in the future this issue will be resolved through dialogue between the two countries, so that Cuba can get opportunities for development.
