Hadash MK Dov Khenin said the new unity government was established to approve an Israeli strike on Iran and warned that the political deal would lead to a regional war. Demonstrations against the new government will be held next Saturday in Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, Beer-Sheva and other cities.
In a statement published Sunday morning the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Israel (CPI) declared the coming Histadrut (Federation of Labor) elections, not only a crucial campaign for the strengthening of the working class, but also a political campaign to win against the “unity” right wing government and its representatives in the Histadrut.
According to the CPI the main reason for the recent political move is the increasing fear of Netanyahu and the ministers of the right wing government of the mass social protests. And CPI and Hadash must be the option for the hundreds of thousands of Jews and Arabs who have, over the last few years, become active in campaigns for democracy, peace, and social justice, and who participated in the mass struggles and protests.
Support for the Demands of the Prisoners on Hunger Strike
CPI and Hadash are certain that we must support the demands of the Palestinian prisoners on huger strike, several of whom are in critical medical condition, and call for participation in protest events taking place all over the country. Already this past weekend there were several demonstrations, with participation from Hadash activists and leaders.
Marking 45 Years of the Occupation
In the beginning of June we will mark 45 years of the occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, and the Syrian Golan. CPI and Hadash call for a mass demonstration with the demanding of putting an end to the occupation, with the main message: there is no social justice without a just peace; there is no just peace without an independent Palestinian state. It was decided that the demonstration will be in Tel Aviv, on Saturday, June 2nd, and that Hadash and CPI will work towards the participation of many parties, movements, organization and people in this demonstration.
