Stop Submarines Delivery to Israel
There must be an immediate and comprehensive clarification by the federal government on the backgrounds of the delivery of dolphin submarines with special technical equipment to Israel, declares Wolfgang Gehrcke, Member of the Party Executive Committee of the party DIE LINKE:
A prompt dealing in the Committee for Foreign Affairs as well as the Defence Committee of the Bundestag and an informing of the parliamentarian confidants are inevitable. To this also belongs an information about the crucial parts of the contractual settlements regarding federal policy. The absolutely inacceptable state forcing parliamentarians again and again to look for information from the media and not being correctly informed by the federal government itself, can't be taken any longer. This speaks for the activity of the media but against the condition of the parliamentary democracy.
DIE LINKE rejects the arms business with Israel categorically. She has submitted an application to the Bundestag demanding to denounce the treaties about the delivery of Dolphin II class submarines to Israel, revoke the permission, and to stop pending delivery. Alternative to the arms business, DIE LNKE supports a proposal of the United Nations to hold a conference for a nuclear weapon-free zone in the Near East. We request the federal government to become politically active for the conference planned for the end of this year in Finland.
