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:

More specifically, as 902 portal reports, mayor Ilias Stamelos and 20 members of the Kaisariani Municipal Council, have been called by the Decentralised Administration of Attica on the basis of "dereliction of duty". What was their crime? The fact that they didn't appeal a first instance decision taken by a court which vindicated five municipal workers concerning their right to employment.
Recently, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of People's Republic of China's victory against Japan, the EU High Representative on Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas proceeded to a new provocative statement. During a speech, she said: “Russia turned to China and said: 'Russia and China fought in World War II, we won World War II, we defeated Nazism' and I thought: 'Okay, that's something new'. If you know history, it raises a lot of questions. Nowadays, people don't read much and don't remember history. It's clear that they buy these narratives”.
We, the undersigned Communist and Workers' Parties, express our condemnation of the current deployment of U.S. military forces in the Caribbean, on the orders of the Trump Administration, threatening Venezuela under the pretext of the fight against drug trafficking.

For months now, the people's justified rebellion against the corrupt and criminalized government, embodied in Aleksandar Vučić and the SNS, has been going on. Of course, we should not forget his engaged servants - Ivica Dačić, Aleksandar Vulin and Milica Zavetnica.
For a long time, the government responded to public protests with individual acts of violence - driving vehicles into the crowd, sporadic attacks on activists, etc. We are witnessing the beginning of a new phase in the government's reaction, which is reflected in the brutal and inappropriate use of force against the people who are demanding their basic democratic rights.
On August 13, 2026, it will be a century since the birth of an indispensable man for the history of his country. Heir to the most genuine of revolutionary thought, promoter of socialist society and undisputedly responsible for a small Island, 90 miles from the United States, to have managed to build a society different from the stigmas established for the so-called Third World nations.
We will celebrate his life and main legacy: example. We will return to Fidel with poems, songs and tributes. We will fill public spaces and media with images and activities. But will it be enough?
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit meeting was used to foster new illusions among the peoples. Certain forces see imperialism merely as the “empire” of the USA and on this basis they salute the promotion of new emerging capitalist powers in global affairs, such as the emergence of new inter-state unions (BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Collective Security Treaty Organization, ALBA etc.), which are formed by capitalist states, with an economic–political and military content.

Like every year, KNE-Odigitis Festival will host the “International City” (Diethnoupolis) at Tritsis Park, where delegations from several Youth organizations from across the world will have the opportunity to exchange opinions and experience from the struggle, as well as the promote and coordinate their joint fight.
The statement reads:
Preliminary Analysis of the General Elections in Bolivia The general elections in Bolivia, held on August 17, have yielded a result that traditional political science and superficial analysis attribute exclusively to the internal fracture of the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS-IPSP).
Born in 1947, Zoheir Bessa was an economist and a journalist, a founding member of PADS and director of Alger Républicain newspaper.
Recently, Taiwan’s government has once again attempted to rewrite the history of the Second World War, claiming that the Communist Party of China (CPC) played no role in the resistance against Japanese imperialism and, by extension, no role in the victory over fascism.
This claim is not only historically inaccurate — it is a deliberate act of political revisionism, intended to deny the legacy of socialist struggle and the contribution of the Chinese people in the 1945 Great Antifascist Victory.
The Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska was used to cultivate complacency and false hopes that a compromise between the imperialist powers could lead to the elimination of the causes of war and "real peace" for the peoples, which would put an end to the bloodshed in Ukraine. The KKE has already taken a position on this issue (see here https://inter.kke.gr/en/articles/Statement-by-the-Press-Office-of-the-Central-Committee-of-the-KKE-on-the-Trump-Putin-meeting/ and https://inter.kke.gr/en/articles/Statement-on-the-negotiations-regarding-the-war-in-Ukraine/ ), yet we would like to take the opportunity today to comment on some political positions that are being reiterated regarding the achievement of a "just solution," which you argue could also be supported by communists.
"There is no war in Gaza. There is a Holocaust in Gaza. Israel is facilitating a holocaust in Gaza", says Cassif and calls for a peaceful, yet unyielding resistance against the genocidal Netanyahu regime.
The Communist Party stresses out:
Karl Marx and his teachings are still so dangerous for the ruling classes that courts in Europe try to declare them as "unconstitutional".
A court in Hamburg, Germany, has stated in the details of a ruling concerning a Karl Marx reading group that Marx’s teachings may be contrary to the “free democratic basic order.”
The working class knows who Donald Trump is.
Masked ICE goons rip people out of their workplace, school, and home. Police club demonstrators who shout against genocide in Gaza. High schools and colleges fire teachers who let students discuss the history of Zionism. Eight hundred employees of the weather service, NOAA, are fired; when disaster strikes, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) cannot dispatch enough staff to the flooded or burning land.
"The KKE denounces the new escalation of imperialist aggression by the US government against Venezuela, by sending warships with thousands of marines near Venezuela, under the pretext of fighting drug cartels.
The results of Sunday's elections in Bolivia were devastating for the leftist “Movement of Socialism” (Movimiento al Socialismo), known by the acronym MAS. Eduardo del Castillo, MAS’s candidate, received only approximately 3 percent of the vote—a historic collapse for a party that had ruled Bolivia for nearly two decades.
This result highlighted deep-seated economic crisis—20–25 percent inflation, fuel and dollar shortages, public frustration—and internal divisions within MAS (notably between Morales-aligned “Evista” and Arce-aligned “Arcista” factions).
“The live-streamed bargaining between those responsible for the war massacre in Ukraine does not portend anything positive for the people, nor does it focus on “peacemaking” and the “end of bloodshed”, as it is provocatively presented, but on the division of territories, “security guarantees” - that is, how the political-military relationship between NATO and Russian forces in Ukrainian territories will be settled - the businesses of large monopoly groups and arms packages.
Read below the text translated into English:
"In the sidelines of the Trump-Putin meeting, the sweatshirt worn by Russian Foreign Minister S. Lavrov with the initials of the USSR, namely CCCP (Союз Советских Социалистических Республик- Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), was commented on worldwide.
“The Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska was part of the imperialist bargaining based not on the interests of the peoples, the Ukrainian and Russian people who are paying the price of the war, but on the interests of the US and Russian monopolies, the expansion of their business activity and the increase in their profitability.
This event marks the 60th anniversaries of Granma and Juventud Rebelde, newspapers founded by Fidel Castro Ruz, Commander in Chief of the Cuban Revolution.
The recent mass demonstrations held in Israel against the heinous plans of the Netanyahu Government to takeover Gaza remind us that societies aren't monolithic entities; they contain conflicting forces within them.
Anyone with a fundamental perception of dialectics can understand the massive contradictions that exist in modern capitalist societies, including the Israeli one.
Tribute to Stalin
THE people of the Soviet Union, the progressive forces and the Peace Movement throughout the world have suffered an irreparable loss through the death of our great and well-beloved Comrade Joseph Stalin.

“Last night (Thursday) the Israeli cabinet approved the beginning of a full-scale occupation of the Gaza Strip. We warn of the continuation of ethnic cleansing, the war of extermination and the further destruction of Gaza,” Hazan says and continues:
Eighty years have passed since the United States, under the administration of President Truman, committed one of the most barbaric crimes against humanity – on August 6th in Hiroshima and a few days later, on August 9th in Nagasaki – by dropping the atomic bomb resulting to hundreds of thousands victims and many more in the following years due to the radioactivity effects.
It was 9 August 1975 - 50 years ago - when one of the 20th century's giants of music died. He was Dmitri Shostakovich, the great Soviet composer and pianist who left his indelible mark on Russian and international culture.
Pedro Eusse, a member of the Political Bureau of the PCV, said that the information was first disclosed through foreign media and not through official channels in the country. "It is alarming that agreements of this magnitude are disclosed through informal channels and are not subject to public scrutiny," Eusse warned.
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly condemns the United States for imposing a 50 per cent tariff on Indian exports.
This unilateral move is arbitrary, dictatorial and reflects the bullying tactics of the US administration.
The explosion of atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki – crimes which should never be forgotten - demonstrated to the world the ruthless nature of U.S. imperialism and the terrible and devastating consequences of the use of nuclear weapons. The U.S. decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima (6 August 1945) and Nagasaki (9 August 1945) were calculated demonstrations of imperialist power aimed not just at Japan but at the Soviet Union and the global communist movement.
Some argue that the war can be stopped or prevented from escalating. For example, Israel may back down under pressure from international solidarity or from actions such as boycotting Israeli products and companies.
Overall, younger Brits emerge as much more likely than those in older age groups to hold a positive view on communism. More specifically:
