The following statement, signed by numerous Communist and Workers' Parties, was issued after an initiative by the Palestinian People's Party and the Communist Party of Israel.
Occupation is Terror, Annexation is Apartheid
On June 5th 2020 it is the 53rd anniversary of the 1967 aggressive war, where Israel had occupied the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza strip, the Syrian Golan and Sinai peninsula.
This anniversary comes in the shadow of the Israeli government’s declared intention to annex the Occupied Palestinian Lands supported by the US Administration, as part of the disastrous “Deal of the Century”. Meaning, perpetuating the occupation, deepening the settlements and creating an official Apartheid regime, while clearing the Palestinian people’s right of self-determination, and preventing the end of occupation, settlements and the establishment of a Palestinian independent state on the borders of June 4th 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital and the right of return for refugeesaccording to international resolutions.
Netanyahu’s government and Trump’s administration are pulling the region to the edge as well as they both are perpetuating the conflict in the service of hegemony projects, they then are betting on the silence of the international community on these crimes – war crimes- especially as the world is preoccupied with COVID-19 implications on health, society and economy.
We, the undersigned workers’ and communist parties of the world, call upon the progressive anti-imperialist forces around the world to continue the struggle against this criminal Israeli policy and the impudent support of imperialism in liquidating the rights of the Palestinian People and exterminating any chance to exercise international law, and reach security and stability in the region.
Down with the Occupation!
Forward the struggle of the Palestinian people for self-determination!

الاحتلال هو الإرهاب، الضم هو أبارتهايد
تحلّ في 5 حزيران 2020 ذكرى 53 عامًا على حرب العام 1967 العدوانية، والتي احتلت فيها إسرائيل الضفة الغربية والقدس الشرقية وقطاع غزة،الجولان السوري وشبه جزيرة سيناء.
وتأتي هذه الذكرى في ظل إعلان الحكومة الإسرائيلية ضمّ الأراضي الفلسطينية المحتلة، بدعم من الإدارة الأمريكية بموجب مخطط "صفقة القرن" الكارثي – ما يعني تكريس الاحتلال وتعميق الاستيطان وخلق نظام أبارتهايد رسمي، وتصفية حق الشعب العربي الفلسطيني في تقرير مصيره وفي صلبه كنس الاحتلال والاستيطان وقيام دولة فلسطينية مستقلة في حدود 4 حزيران 1967 وعاصمتها القدس الشرقية وعودة اللاجئين وفق قرارات الشرعية الدولية.
إنّ حكومة نتنياهو وإدارة ترامب إذ يجرّان المنطقة إلى شفير الهاوية وتكريس الصراع في خدمة مشاريع التوسع والهيمنة، فإنهما يراهنان على صمت المجتمع الدولي عن هذه الجرائم والتي تشكّل جرائم حرب، لا سيما في ظل انشغال العالم بجائحة "كورونا" وإسقاطاتها الصحية والاجتماعية والاقتصادية.
نحن الأحزاب الشيوعية والعمالية الموقعة أدناه، نناشد جميع القوى التقدمية المناهضة للإمبريالية وقوى السلام في جميع أنحاء العالم بمواصلة النضال ضد هذه السياسة الإجرامية الإسرائيلية وضد الدعم الإمبريالي الوقح لاغتصاب حقوق الشعب الفلسطيني وتدمير أية إمكانية لتطبيق القانون الدولي وتحقيق الأمن والاستقرار في المنطقة.
يسقط الاحتلال!
عاش نضال الشعب الفلسطيني من أجل تقرير المصير!
