Statement on the terrorist attack on the house of Ramiz Jaraisym, mayor of Nazareth
“KKE condemns the grenade attack on the house of Ramiz Jaraisy, occurred on Monday December 29. Ramiz Jaraisy is the mayor of Nazareth and cooperates with the Communist Party of Israel in the Democratic Front for Equality and Peace.
This terrorist attack unfolded one year after the murderous invasion into Gaza, in a period when the aggressiveness of the Israeli state against the Palestinian people intensifies while at the same time the anti-communist actions, the prohibitions and persecutions against the Communist Party of Israel multiply. The recent ban of the activities of the CP of Israel in universities provides an indicative example of this policy. Furthermore, a few weeks ago the Israeli government sought the persecution of comrade Mohammad Barakeh member of the PB and MP of the CP of Israel.
KKE calls upon the people to strengthen their solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people and the heroic Communist Party of Israel that resists and struggles against the imperialist policy of the Israeli state”.
