The Democratic Front for Peace and Equality (Hadash) called on the far-right Israeli government to immediately halt the dangerous and deliberate escalation, which threatens to drag the entire region into another all-out war—a conflict for which civilians here and across the region will pay a heavy price.
Hadash says no to Netanyahu’s eternal war
Hadash urges the opposition party leaders to demonstrate responsibility and political courage by opposing Netanyahu’s war of survival now, rather than only in retrospect.
“The time has come to stop providing automatic backing for destructive policies that lead to endless bloodshed, and instead fight for diplomatic agreements, true security, and peace. No to war with Iran. No to Netanyahu’s eternal war.”
According to Hadash MK Ayman Odeh, “War is the last resort for those who have no answers. War is the last resort of those who fear facing reality. And no one fears reality more than the Israeli government and large segments of the opposition, who repeatedly rush to align themselves behind the government, even attempting to outflank from the right the most right-wing and dangerous government in the country’s history.”
“Were they truly brave, rather than warmongers, they would call for an immediate halt to the escalation and present an alternative to the public. And the alternative is clear: a peaceful agreement that ensures security for all peoples in the region and respects the national rights of both nations living on this land. It is impossible to keep running away from this issue. It is impossible to keep fearing to speak the truth. Furthermore, it is impossible to keep falling for the illusion that more wars will bring security. Therefore, I say here in the clearest possible way: No to war with Iran. No to the eternal war. Yes, to a peaceful agreement. Yes, to a different, safer, and more just future for all of us,” he agreed.
