COMMUNIST parties from around the globe laid the blame for the escalation of resistance by Hamas in Gaza over the weekend firmly at the door of the Israeli occupying forces.

The Palestinian People’s Party said on Sunday that the rapid escalation between Hamas and the Israelis “confirms beyond any doubt that security, stability and peace in the region and the world cannot be achieved unless the Palestinian people obtain their legitimate rights.”

The Communist Party of Israel (MKI) and Hadash blamed the “criminal occupation policy of the far-right Netanyahu government,” and said it posed “grave dangers” for peace in the region.
