The Communist Party of Kenya stands firmly with the people and government of Iraq in condemning Israel’s blatant violation of Iraqi airspace and sovereignty. This aggression is part of a wider pattern of imperialist and settler-colonial provocations aimed at destabilizing independent states in the region. Israel’s reckless actions, carried out with impunity, threaten not only Iraq’s sovereignty but also the collective security of the region, serving the interests of imperialist powers and furthering tensions against anti-imperialist forces like Iran.
The United States’ hypocrisy is on full display. Although it denies direct involvement in the latest violation, it remains the chief supporter of the Zionist entity’s crimes. The U.S. shields Israel diplomatically and militarily, making it complicit in these illegal acts and the genocidal oppression of the Palestinian and Arab peoples. Iraq has done the right thing by raising a formal complaint with the United Nations, and the world is now watching whether the Security Council will act justly or if the U.S. will again abuse its veto power to protect the murderous Israeli regime. This is a defining moment for the UN’s credibility—whether it stands for justice or remains an instrument of imperialist interests.
