Communist Party of Israel: Report of the Party's Central Committee towards the 29th Congress

In the meeting of the 16th session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Israel, the Central Committee approved the holding of the party's 29^thcongress, on January 15, 2026- emphasizing that this congress is held under drastic and dramatic changes in Israel and the region. The Central Committee calls on cadres to prepare, in parallel with the intensification of the struggle and voices against the genocide and the government's repressive policies, and affirms its support for comrade Ayman Odeh, in the face of the process of his exclusion from the Knesset, and with comrade Aida Touma against the continuous measures against her, and all Hadash-Ta'al MKs, for expressing political positions of clear rejection to the genocidal war.  

Netanyahu’s far-right regime intends to ban Hadash!

The Israeli far-right government is working systematically to disqualify Arab and Left-wing representatives from the Knesset to secure a permanent majority. It is trying to prevent public and parliamentary dissent against the occupation of the Palestinian territories and the endless war in Gaza and Lebanon.

Netanyahu’s coalition decided to ban Hadash and is still unclear which legislation will be used to ban Islamic Ra’am party. This is done under the false accusation of “support for terrorism”.

Israeli left-wing MP Ayman Odeh expelled from the Knesset because he condemned the massacre in Gaza!

The chairman of Hadash-Ta'al left alliance and MP, Ayman Odeh, was removed from the Knesset plenum on Wednesday, following statements against the Israeli occupation of Gaza and the devastating humanitarian situation there.

"What the army is doing there is murder, it is a massacre - the starvation of children," Odeh said, adding that "there is blindness of heart and there is blindness of conscience. I appeal to you to be a real opposition against this government and its crimes in Gaza. There is a position regarding October 7, but what the army is doing there is a crime, it is killing, it is murder, it is a massacre". 

Israeli Communist Party, Hadash-Ta'al condemn IDF's military attack in Jenin

On Sunday night, the Israeli army launched an attack in the Palestinian refugee camp of Jenin, north of the occupied West Bank, which has so far resulted in the death of 10 Palestinians and the injury of, at least, 103. 

The military attack began with an aerial attack on the city's refugee camp, "as part of an effort to thwart the widespread threat of terrorism in Judea and Samaria," as the IDF spokesman said.

The left-wing joint list Hadash-Ta’al, which is supported by the Communist Party, has received five seats in the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) following November 1st legislative election which marked the return of the far-right Netanyahu leadership. The ultra-conservative Likud Party won 32 seats in Knesset and is back in government. 

The eight parties of what might be termed the “anti-Netanyahu bloc” – comprising the outgoing coalition parties, together with Hadash-Ta’al and Arab Balad party — attained near-parity, with 2,330,464 votes.
