Israeli communists condemn strikes against Hamas leaders in Qatar: "An assassination of the negotiations"

Israel attempted to assassinate Hamas leaders on Tuesday, September 9, while they were meeting in Doha, Qatar’s capital. The attack was carried out by Israel Air Force fighter jets and included 10 strikes on the target.

According to Channel 12 reports, Israel informed the US of its intention to strike Hamas leaders in Qatar when the jets were already in the air. 

In a comment regarding the attack, the left-wing coalition Hadash (Democratic Front for Peace and Equality) stresses out:

"The assassination (attempt) of Hamas' leadership in Doha is an assassination of the negotiations, posing a clear and immediate danger to the lives of the hostages. It is an illegal political decision, entirely aimed at enabling the continuation of the war of destruction until the true goal of the Israeli government is achieved: the occupation of Gaza, ethnic cleansing and settlements. Hadash condemns the assassination and calls for an end to the genocidal actions."

Hadash deputy Ofer Cassif tweeted, “The Israeli ‘strike’ on Doha is a strike on the life and liberty of the hostages and people of Gaza The bombing of Doha, carried out in coordination between Israel and the United States, is a blatant act of aggression that will only lead to the continuation of the genocide in Gaza, the deliberate killing of the remaining hostages, and perhaps even a declaration of war on Qatar. The Israeli public must wake up: the intensification of the genocide—beyond being a crime against humanity—will not bring security or freedom for the hostages. Rather, it will only bring more loss and suffering for us all. The international community must urgently intervene to put an end to the destruction and prevent the occupation of Gaza city. Save the Palestinian and Israeli peoples from the genocidal government!”
