Palestinian Communist key figure murdered in Gaza

The Communist Party of Israel (CPI) and the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality (Hadash) express their deep shock, grief and rage over the coldblooded murder of Palestinian People’s Party (PPP) comrade Imad Asfour by Israeli criminal military assault in Gaza Strip. Our friend comrade Asfour served as the Deputy Chairman of the Control Committee and Head of the Youth Development Organization and was a key figure in the PPP. Just two days prior to Imad’s murder, his father was also killed by an Israeli attack. As we know, in the last three weeks such deaths have been the lot of more than one thousand Palestinians in Gaza Strip! That must be stopped!

CPI and Hadash convey their condolences to PPP and to Asfour’s family, relatives and friends, and reemphasize their strong and unequivocal condemnation of Israeli war crimes and mass killings in Gaza Strip.

May Asfour’s memory be eternal!

May Afour’s soul rest in peace!

Stop Israeli war crimes!

Down with the occupation!
