Israeli communists: Netanyahu's far-right government is igniting a regional war whose price will be paid by all the peoples of the region

In a comment (Hebrew) concerning the new Israeli attack in Beirut, as well as the assassination of Hamas' political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, the Communist Party of Israel (Maki) and Hadash (Democratic Front for Peace and Equality) point out:

"The Israeli government insists on igniting a regional war whose price will be paid by all the peoples of the region, including the citizens of Israel itself! The settler government in Israel is knowingly leading the region to ignite an extensive regional war that will wreak havoc on all the peoples of the region, including the citizens of the State of Israel itself.

The fascist right-wing government would not dare take such risky action without encouragement from the United States, as we saw in Netanyahu’s reception in the American Congress.

These assassinations give cover to the Israeli government failure to reach the war’s objectives and eliminate any chance to reach a deal that will end the war, free the hostages & prisoners, reconstruct Gaza and enable the residents of northern Israel to return to their homes.

These are assassinations against diplomacy itself by a trigger-happy government that can only speak the language of violence and destruction".
