The war should be stopped immediately - enough killing, enough bereavement!

How much longer can we endure the path of war that leads to the abyss?

The Iran War was born under the pretext of destroying nuclear weapons, but in reality it was intended to continue the destruction of the Palestinian people and the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people in the occupied territories, far from the eyes and attention of the public. The war was intended to make people forget the disaster of abandonment, the responsibility of Netanyahu and his government for the disaster, and the demand for the existence of a state investigation committee. Defining the war as an "existential war of no choice" is a deception designed to sow existential fear in the hearts of the Israeli public and enable the survival of Netanyahu and his government as they are, for an unknown period of time. The war must end now, the hostages must be returned, and a diplomatic path must be taken. Israel's arrogance, boasting, and intoxication with power harm all of us, Jews and Arab citizens of Israel. There is equality in the suffering and cost of the war between Jews and Arabs in Israel. Israeli citizens in Tamra and Bat Yam pay the same price with their lives and property, but there is no equality in the means of protection, the life-saving measures, between Jewish and Arab communities.

The All Citizens Party also demands equality in the right to protect the lives of all residents. We demand the construction of appropriate battalions and shelters in Arab communities in general and in the Negev in particular. The lives of the Bedouins in the Negev have been completely destroyed in the absence of protective measures like in Jewish communities. The lives of Arab Israeli citizens are not cheaper than the lives of Jews. We need full equality in protective measures for all communities.

The problem of Iran's development of nuclear weapons must be resolved, but through negotiations, as Donald Trump has begun to do with the Iranians. War has done more harm than good. It provides no long-term solution, but leads to destruction, death, the abandonment of hostages to their deaths, and the continued destruction of innocent people in Gaza, the West Bank, Israel, and Iran.
