Communist Party of Israel and Hadash stand against Netanyahu government's attack on Iran

In a statement issued today on social media, Friday 13 June, concerning Israel's strikes against nuclear and military facilities in Iran, the Communist Party of Israel (Maki) and the left coalition of Hadash (Democratic Front for Peace and Equality) condemn the actions of Netanyahu government. 

Netanyahu's government is dragging the region into a broad and dangerous escalation

"Hadash and Maki oppose the large-scale Israeli attack on Iran that took place early this morning, as part of the attempt by Benjamin Netanyahu's government, with the support of the parliamentary opposition, to drag the region into an even broader escalation. We call for stopping what today appears to be the start of a dangerous war, which could involve the entire Middle East."

The Front and the party reiterated their principled opposition to all nuclear weapons programs - in the Middle East and throughout the world, without exception," and called on all countries to respect international treaties aimed at preventing humanitarian disasters in the world.

It was also stated: "We warn: The Israeli government may exploit the situation it has created to carry out even more dangerous plans towards the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, and the world is called upon to take real and genuine positions to stop the impending disaster. We call for a public protest against this escalation, while respecting the rules to protect the safety and well-being of residents."
