In a statement (here in Greek) concerning the recent Israeli attack in Beirut and the assassination of Hamas' leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, the Press Office of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) warns about an unpredictable escalation of war in the Middle East.
The statement reads:
"The KKE denounces the new murderous attack by Israel on Beirut
which, combined with the assassination of the leader of Hamas in Tehran,
leads to unpredictable escalation of the war and a general
conflagration in the Middle East.
The well-known pretexts used by the occupying state of Israel, with
the backing of the USA - NATO - EU, cannot conceal neither the repeated
and ongoing aggressive actions against Lebanon, the long-standing
occupation of territories in Lebanon and Syria, in the Golan Heights,
nor the genocide committed against the people of Palestine with more
than 40.000 people dead.
The New Democracy government, which has become a key mouthpiece of Israeli propaganda and is strengthening its multiform cooperation with this terrorist state, bears enormous responsibility for turning our country into a perpetrator against other peoples.
The struggle against the Israeli crimes, against the involvement and complicity of the Greek government in these crimes, must be immediately intensified; people’s solidarity must be expressed with the peoples of Palestine and Lebanon, with every people who are confronted with such imperialist crimes."
