U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the pro-Hamas and anti-ICE protests in America are not organic but part of a coordinated, funded network that includes communist Cuba, according to a statement. Rubio described the protests as a coordinated effort to destabilize the West.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the pro-Hamas and anti-ICE protests sweeping American cities are not organic grassroots movements but rather a coordinated, funded network that includes communist Cuba. Rubio characterized the protests as part of a broader effort by the radical left to destabilize the West, linking anti-Israel activism with anti-American sentiment.
The remarks align with the State Department's recent accusations that Cuba has infiltrated the U.S. government and backed left-wing terrorism on American soil, as The Zioneer reported on July 20. Rubio's framing places the domestic protest movement within a wider geopolitical context of foreign-backed destabilization, a theme he has increasingly emphasized in his tenure as Secretary of State.
