The Left Party of Iran welcomes the issuance of the arrest warrant for Netanyahu, Gallant, and Zeif by the International Court of Justice in The Hague. With this warrant, all 123 countries that have ratified this court can arrest them on their soil and hand them over to the international court. Although the implementation of this warrant is complicated and difficult, the issuance of this warrant itself is a great victory for all the people of the world and progressive movements.

The Left Party of Iran condemns the regime's repressive treatment of Ahoo Daryaei and other women and supports the protests in defense of her and against the mandatory hijab. We invite the fighting people of our country, civil and political institutions, progressive and freedom-loving forces to demand the immediate release of Ahoo Daryaei by launching joint campaigns.

Since the Israeli air raid on Iran on 25/10/2024 both sides seem to have pulled back from crossing each other’s red lines. As long as the Gaza war continues, this ‘controlled’ tit-for-tat will keep the Middle East on edge. Netanyahu’s claim regarding changing the Middle East map seems to be rhetorical for now. For the time being, the two antagonists carry on in their low-level war. The Islamic Republic will not give up its allies in the Middle East. At the same time, Israel will not give up her goal of dominating the entire region.

No matter which formula finally is adopted, the governing force will have to tackle the cost of rebuilding Gaza. Israel has destroyed Gaza and billions of dollars are needed for just the initial outlay. Who will pay the bill? Israel will almost certainly not contribute. The Arab governments have their own criteria, which is almost certainly rejected by Israel.
