Cuba and the Palestinian Issue (1967-1972(
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cuba is a Latin American country located in the Caribbean region. Cuba has been unique among Latin American countries in its support for the Palestinian cause. This has been evident since the decision to partition Palestine in 1947. It has continued to support Palestine, as it condemned the Zionist aggression (the setback) in June 1967, supported the permanent presence of Palestine in all its international speeches, and demanded a comprehensive withdrawal from the occupied Palestinian territories and from the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. It also confiscated the Israeli cultural center in Havana in 1972, as it was considered a headquarters for broadcasting Zionist propaganda, and converted it into the headquarters of the Arab Union in Cuba, which included all the Arab immigrant communities there.
