Course of very dangerous escalation and generalization of the war in the Middle East

“Iran’s missile attack on Israel, in retaliation for the ongoing criminal actions of the Israeli state behind the backs of the US, NATO and the EU, is an expected development.

The course of the very dangerous escalation and generalization of the war in the Middle East and the wider region is confirmed, which can take on even more terrifying proportions in the event of an attack by Israel and its allies against Iran”, says the KKE in its statement on the developments in the Middle East, noting that “the policy of the State of Israel and the Netanyahu government is directed not only against other peoples, but also against the Israeli people themselves, making them a target for retaliation.”

“The KKE had warned from the first moment that Israel’s brutality and genocide against the Palestinian people, the assassinations of political leaders, the bombings and the land intervention plan against Lebanon are intensifying the antagonisms to the maximum and opening the “gates of hell” for the people of the region”, the announcement emphasizes and adds:

“In the face of these developments, the Greek government, playing the role of the advocate of Israeli crimes and actively participating in the US-NATO support plans for Israel, assumes enormous responsibilities and leads the people and the country into a war of unforeseeable dimensions.

The ND government has no authorization from the Greek people to participate in an imperialist war by supporting the conqueror of the Palestinian territories and now the territories in the independent state of Lebanon with land operations, drowning the peoples of the Middle East in blood and suffering, wider of the entire Eastern Mediterranean and making the Greek people themselves the target of reprisals”.

“Here and now to return the Greek frigate from the Red Sea which is literally in the “mouth of the wolf”, in the context of the EU’s “Aspides” operation. To withdraw all support of the Greek government to the murderous state of Israel and to disengage our country from the imperialist wars, to close the US-NATO bases and infrastructures. To express solidarity with the peoples who are bleeding because of the imperialist interventions and wars”, the KKE also emphasizes and concludes in its announcement:

“The people have the power to cancel these plans, not to accept becoming “cannon fodder” of the imperialists and defeat the system that breeds poverty, wars and refugees.”
