The Arab-majority Hadash party accuses Israel’s “fascist right-wing government” of sparking a conflict that could lead to a regional war, following the IDF’s massive bombardment of Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon.
“The government of Israel, which has insisted on escalating the massacre in Lebanon for the past several days, bears responsibility for the outbreak of the Third Lebanon War, which may deteriorate into a devastating and comprehensive regional war,” the party says in a statement.
“The fascist, right-wing government, which uselessly carried out the most brutal massacre in Gaza under the pretext of returning the hostages, is waging war in Lebanon under the pretext of returning the residents of the north of the country to their homes. However, military force has proven its failure in providing security for every citizen. The only guarantee of security is an end to the war in Gaza and recognition of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination,” it continues, asserting that “immediately ending the war in Gaza and Lebanon is in the supreme interest of all the residents of the region.”
