Against the US Imperialist-Israeli War of Aggression on Iran and Israeli Criminal War on Lebanon: IMCWP

The meeting of the Working Group of the 24th International Meeting of Communist and Workers’ Parties (IMCWP) is taking place at a time when the world bears painful witness to US imperialism and Israeli savage military aggression against Iran and Lebanon, and the continuing genocidal policies of Israeli government in Palestine.

The latest phase of military aggression, that started on 28 February, has once more pushed the Middle East region into a dangerous spiral of widening military conflicts, costing thousands of lives and the extensive destruction of the infrastructure of both countries, while also spurring an international economic crisis, which will hurt the world's poor first and foremost while the big oil monopolies and military-industrial complexes benefit handsomely. The Trump imperialist government along with the Netanyahu criminal regime, which has been accused of genocide and crimes against humanity by the International Court of Justice for their killings of tens of thousands of innocent and defenceless people in Gaza, including 20,000 children, have waged this war with the full silent backing of almost all EU and NATO countries despite the massive popular outcry against these atrocities.

These latest aggressions follow the US Imperialist attack on Venezuela and the kidnapping of that country's president, as well as the savage economic blockade against Cuba and its heroic people with the aim of finally defeating the Cuban Revolution.

All these acts of aggression and military interference align with US Imperialism's new "National Security Strategy" and a return to the Monroe Doctrine, threatening world peace and the independence and national sovereignty of countries. As our parties have emphasised time and again, the direction of the struggle of people for peace, national sovereignty, human and democratic rights, social justice, and socialism should be determined solely by the people, free from any foreign interference.

We, the undersigned parties, support the heroic struggle of people for peace, progress, and national sovereignty in all countries threatened by Imperialism and its reactionary allies, particularly the criminal Israeli regime.

Long live international solidarity!
