The undersigned communist and workers’ parties strongly and unequivocally condemn Israel’s aggression being meted out against Palestinians in Jerusalem – as well as the continued military bombardment of Gaza, which has resulted in the killing of scores of Palestinian civilians and the maiming of hundreds more, among them children.

Israel’s brazen violation of international humanitarian law and international law has continued for decades now, aided and abetted with the full support of imperialist forces, and without any meaningful intervention from international institutions to end these violations or outwardly condemn them.
We demand:
- An immediate cessation to the bombardment and besieging of Gaza;
- An end to the attacks and violations against Palestinians exercising their rights in and around the Al-Aqsa Mosque and all other holy sites;
- A halt to the relentless attacks and intimidation against Palestinian residents in East Jerusalem by Israeli authorities and settlers, namely the latters’ attempts to evict families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood as part of a continued campaign of ethnic cleansing.
We express our full and unwavering solidarity with the just struggle of the Palestinian people to end the occupation and towards the establishing of an independent state, within the recognized borders as they stood on June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and the right of return for all Palestinian refugees in accordance with the relevant UN resolutions.
We call on all progressive and peace-loving people to raise their voice and join this appeal.
