Hadash Leader Labels Settlers Terrorists, Urges Opposition to Support Palestinian Statehood

Yousef Jabareen, chairman of the Hadash party, publicly condemned Israeli settlers as "terrorists" during a recent protest in Tel Aviv. He accused settlers of perpetrating violence and property destruction in the West Bank, describing these acts as "settler terror" harming innocent people. Jabareen called on Zionist opposition parties to reject the settlers' narrative and adopt a courageous political stance by supporting Palestinian rights, including the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. He emphasized that Palestinians have the right to statehood alongside Israel, as recognized globally, and asserted that this is the only viable solution to the conflict. The speech reflects ongoing tensions over Israeli settlements and the broader Israeli-Palestinian dispute, with Jabareen urging a shift in opposition party policies toward Palestinian self-determination.
