Statement by KKE regarding the new criminal attacks by the Israeli army in Gaza
KKE calls upon the Greek people to resolutely condemn the new criminal incursions by the Israeli army in Gaza. These attacks constitute a follow-up of the inhuman siege of Gaza, the closing of the borders with Egypt and the escalation of the presence of the US navy with new battleships in Eastern Mediterranean. These criminal attacks revealed once again that the objective of the policies promoted by US and EU as well as of the so-called peace accords of Annapolis is to break down the resistance and to lead the Palestinian people into submission.KKE denounces to the Greek people the unacceptable stand taken by the Greek government and the UN Security Council, since it legalizes and encourages in fact Israel to further escalate violence.
KKE calls upon the working people and youth to express militant solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people and to demand:
- Immediate cessation of the attacks of the Israeli army.
- Withdrawal of the Greek battle ship on the Lebanese coast
- Closing of the US base in Souda Bay, Crete, heavily involved in the actual military operations in Eastern Mediterranean
