Communist Party of Greece condemns exclusion of Arab candidates in Israel
The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has expressed solidarity with the Communist Party of Israel following a decision by Israel's Central Electoral Committee. On September 23, the committee ruled to exclude all Arab political electoral combinations and candidates from participating in the elections.
The KKE's International Relations Department condemned the move as undemocratic, specifically noting the exclusion of Ofer Cassif, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of Israel and an elected official. The KKE criticized the Israeli state's actions, linking the electoral exclusion to broader regional conflicts involving Palestine and Lebanon.
