The Communist Party of Israel (MAKI) and Hadash have issued a statement blaming the Israeli government for the recent escalation in violence between Israel and Hamas. The statement says that the government's "criminal occupation policy" is leading to a regional war and that they "put the full responsibility on the fascist right-wing government for the sharp and dangerous escalation of the last few hours."
The statement also calls for an end to the occupation and the establishment of a just peace. It also warns of revenge activities against Arab citizens of Israel and calls for sane forces in Israel to raise a sharp and clear voice against any attempt to incite against entire populations or to take the law into one's own hands.
The statement comes as tensions between Israel and Hamas have reached a boiling point. In recent days, there have been a number of rocket attacks from Gaza into Israel, and Israel has responded with airstrikes. The violence has resulted in the deaths of dozens of people, both Palestinian and Israeli.
The Communist Party of Israel (MAKI) is a political party in Israel that advocates for socialism and communism. Hadash is a political alliance between the Communist Party of Israel (MAKI) and other left-wing parties.
