The KKE denounces to the Greek people that the US plan for the Palestinian issue, which is falsely described as the "deal of the century", not only does not guarantee an independent Palestinian state but perpetuates and shields Israeli occupation.

The plan provides:

- The ceding of Jerusalem to the State of Israel as an "undivided Israeli capital".

- The annexation of the Jordan Valley, which is the heart of the 30% of the West Bank, and areas north of the Dead Sea by the Israeli state.

- The maintenance of Israeli settlements and thousands of settlers who are occupying forces in the Palestinian territories.

This is a very dangerous development, part of the general imperialist plan put forward by the US for unacceptable arrangements in the region against the peoples.

We must now strengthen solidarity with the Palestinian people.

- For the end of the Israeli occupation and an independent Palestinian state at the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

- For the abolition of settlements and departure of settlers, return of Palestinian refugees to their homes.

- For the release of all Palestinian political prisoners from Israeli prisons.

The Greek governments, the current ND as the previous SYRIZA government, have a share of responsibility for upgrading the strategic cooperation with the state - killer of Israel, but also because they have not proceeded to the necessary recognition of an independent Palestinian state, despite the unanimous decision of the Greek parliament.
