In Lebanon, the League of Palestinian Graduates Sends a Message of Congratulations on the 73rd Anniversary of National Rebellion Day
Beirut, July 26, 2026
Comrade Jorge León Cruz, Cuban Ambassador to Lebanon
Congratulations on the 73rd anniversary of National Rebellion Day, the beginning of the popular armed struggle in Cuba
Thanks to the fighters who participated in the historic events of July 26, 1953, led by Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro, we were able to learn about and come to understand the struggle of the heroic Cuban people, who waged the War of Liberation against a ferocious enemy (the dictatorship manipulated by imperialism on the one hand, and the American empire on the other).
The history of U.S. imperialism is known for being bloody.
Today, imperialism is carrying out the same policy of terror against peoples worldwide; it attacked Venezuela and, in a pirate-like operation, kidnapped President Nicolás Maduro; it threatens Cuba; it attacks Iran; and it supplies weapons of mass destruction to the Zionist occupation forces that are committing crimes and massacres against the peoples of Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and Iran.
We are fighting against a common enemy: U.S. imperialism and Zionism.
Our peoples are resisting and waging a strong struggle against the forces of global terrorism, which consist of the Zionist occupation and U.S. imperialism.
Despite the massacres, widespread destruction, and ethnic cleansing, victory is ours.
Long live July 26!
Eternal glory to Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz
