Ramallah, February 5, 2026. The Palestinian-Cuban Friendship Association today called for an end to all coercive measures by the United States against the Caribbean nation and condemned Washington's latest escalation.
We express our strongest condemnation of the recent brutal escalation of aggression by Donald Trump's government against Cuban sovereignty, the group said in a statement.
In this regard, it described as economic piracy and international blackmail an executive order that seeks to impose punitive tariffs on sovereign nations that supply fuel to the island.
This measure not only seeks to paralyze the electricity supply and transportation of the largest of the Antilles, but also constitutes a direct attack on the survival of its people by attempting to surrender them to hunger and darkness, he stressed.
In these times when international justice is being put to the test, our voices rise from the heart of the Palestinian cause to embrace our sister nation, Cuba, he said.
The Association assured that the Palestinian people will never forget that Cuba was one of the first countries to recognize their sovereignty and that it trained thousands of their doctors and professionals.
Cuba is not alone, the text confirmed, demanding an end to US attacks on the Caribbean nation and respect for its right to trade freely with the world. (Embacuba Egipto/Prensa Latina)
