Taking action for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and a truce on all fronts, the president of the New Left calls for a statement. Alexis Haritsis.

“The most critical moment is now! NOW all the eyes of the world turn to Rafa! NOW the fight to prevent the carnage from escalating is at its most critical. Tomorrow will be too late. NOW is the time!”, the president of the New Left emphatically states and adds: “A general truce and cease-fire on all fronts is imperative to stop this slaughter immediately. And this, however, is no longer enough. The invasion and evacuation of Rafah, which constitutes a war crime under International Law, must be stopped NOW and the humanitarian corridors must remain open. The crack of hope that opened yesterday looks extremely precarious. The government of Israel not only stands against the ceasefire proposal, but a few hours later carried out airstrikes and a ground invasion of the Rafah humanitarian crossing. The parties involved need to return to diplomacy immediately. Egypt and Qatar’s three-phase proposal can form the basis for a ceasefire.”

He then argues that Greece should mobilize and explains:

Greece to exert diplomatic pressure on the EU together with other countries for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Greece to recognize the State of Palestine in accordance with the UN resolutions, implementing the unanimous resolution of the Greek Parliament of December 2015.

Greece should coordinate with Spain, Ireland, Slovakia and Malta (countries that have already expressed the desire to recognize Palestine) and fight in the European Union for the recognition of the state of Palestine.

To withdraw the occupation troops of the Israeli army from the occupied Palestinian territories in the West Bank.

Recall the Greek frigate from the Gulf of Aden – No involvement of Greece in the war because Mr. Mitsotakis wants it. The Greek people do not become complicit in the massacre. He does not avert his gaze from genocide. He will fight for peace and justice. On the right side of history.
