“THERE is no opposition to this government’s war in the Knesset, in this country, apart from the party, Hadash, the partners in the Knesset and the Islamic movement. There are less than 10 lawmakers who are against the war in the Knesset,” the international commission of the Communist Party of Britain heard from Reem Hazzan, the international secretary of the Communist Party of Israel.
The commission was also joined by Dr Aqel Taqaz, the international co-ordinator of the Palestinian People’s Party, who spoke on the urgency for the international community to force Israel to end the genocide against the Palestinian people.
Hazzan reported to the commission that the party was warning of the rise of fascism in Israel long before October 7.
