THE Lebanese Communist Party (LCP) has accused regional governments of “complicity” with Israel’s “aggressive and racist” Jerusalem security crackdown.
The LCP political bureau released a statement on Monday condemning the “aggressive security measures in Jerusalem” and that the two-week standoff at the al-Aqsa mosque in occupied East Jerusalem — Islam’s third-holiest site — “confirms the racist nature of the zionist occupation.”
