He claimed that it was.
Castro’s government is an enthusiastic supporter of jihadist causes and a close ally of Iran, a designated state sponsor of terrorism by the United States. After Hamas massacred approximately 1,200 people in Israel on October 7, the Cuban Communist Party spoke out in support of Hamas and the “Palestinian cause,” leading to Israel declaring war and launching self-defense operations in Hamas’ stronghold of Gaza. I blamed him for what he had done. To prevent a repeat of the worst terrorist attack in history. Castro’s government has lit up Havana in the colors of the “Palestinian” flag since October 7, and Diaz-Canel visited Iran shortly afterward, denouncing Israel and expressing solidarity with jihadist operatives in the region. .

Canel was furious with Al-Mayadeen’s reporter. “As long as empires exist, as long as capitalism exists, this policy will remain the same. [the two are] Completely consistent with their beliefs and expression of supremacy. ”
Declaring that “all Cuban people are children of Palestine,” the leader said that the solution to the conflict between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas is not to eliminate terrorists, but to “change the international economic system and bring about an end to it.” ‘ he claimed.

The latest protests erupted this weekend in the cities of Bayamo and Santiago de Cuba in eastern Cuba, spurring intermittent power outages that sometimes last up to 20 hours and cut back on the meager amount the Castro regime has allowed its citizens to procure with rations. ensured that food spoiled.
