ISRAEL and Ben Gvir's police have just decided to shut the headquarters of the Communist Party in Haifa for ten hours starting at 19:00 this evening (August 26, 2024). 

Earlier, the police summoned Comrade Reem Hazan for the second time this afternoon and conducted an investigation with her and decided to close the party's headquarters in order to prevent the screening of Muhammad Bakri's new film "Janein Jenin" and the launching of an activity against the aggressive war on Gaza.

The Communist Party and Hadash condemn this fascist act and reject it. The police's decision reveals the depth of fascist practice that affects political and party activism, especially those opposing the war and government's policy. The Communist party and Hadash also emphasize that their anti-war activities will continue and will be even stronger until the criminal war waged against Gaza is stopped.
