COMMUNIST Party of Britain’s general secretary Rob Griffiths has slammed the government’s collaboration with the US-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza.

He addressed the party’s political committee on Tuesday night as talks opened in Sharm el-Sheikh to agree US President Donald Trump’s plan for the future of Palestinian territories illegally occupied by Israel.

In return for a ceasefire and exchange of hostages and prisoners between Hamas and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s regime in Tel Aviv, Gaza is to be rebuilt from the ruins by US and other transnational corporations.

Palestinian organisations would be excluded from government, while an interim council takes charge headed by Donald Trump alongside war criminal Tony Blair, Mr Griffiths warned.

He said: “Israeli cabinet ministers make no secret of their government’s intention to expel Palestinians from their Gaza homeland and to annex most or all of the occupied West Bank.

“Yet Britain’s Labour government connives in these plans and the Gaza genocide while claiming to support Palestinian statehood.

“And now this government stays silent as British citizens and more than 400 other members of an unarmed flotilla taking aid to starving Gazans are captured by Israeli troops in international waters, tied up and transported to Israeli police and prison cells.

“Has a Labour government ever sunk lower than this one?” he concluded.
