New Left Party unveils support board for Palestine and Lebanon in Parliament
The gathering included MPs Efi Ahtsioglou, Nasos Iliopoulos, Peti Perka, Theano Fotiou, and Hüseyin Zeybek, a Turkish MP from Xanthi. They displayed a board with the message: "Peace now, support for Lebanon, freedom for Palestine."
In a social media post, the New Left Party criticized Israel's far-right government, stating that after the genocide in Gaza, it opened the door to uncontrolled war escalation in the region with its terror attacks in Lebanon that have caused numerous deaths.
The party's statement also accused Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis of being a reliable ally of Israel and condemned his silence at the United Nations General Assembly, saying he failed to speak out against the Netanyahu regime.
