Netanyahu Takes Us to the Brink – He Must Be Stopped

Israel’s series of overnight attacks were a dramatic and calculated attempt to spark a wider war in the Middle East.

The killing of Ismail Haniyeh in particular could not have been more provocative. Haniyeh was not just the political leader of Hamas, he was the lead Hamas figure in the negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza taking place in Qatar and elsewhere.

Netanyahu’s last hope is to drag the US into a wider war with Lebanon or Iran. The attack on Tehran comes a few days after he received a standing ovation in the US Congress. The US have been deeply involved in developments since the attacks on the Golan Heights. It is almost inconceivable that it hadn’t discussed Israel’s plans.

The job of everyone who opposes a wider war in the region is to escalate our global struggle against the genocide in Gaza and Israel’s spiralling aggression.

Britain is the main Western backer of US policy in the Middle East and a prime supporter of Israel. What happens here matters.

This Saturday’s national demonstration against Israel’s genocide in Gaza now also needs to be a massive show of strength against a wider war in the Middle East. Make sure you’re there.
