MK Chikli: Israel has the right and duty to reshape the security reality on the northern border

See Translation below Tweet

Translation:

My friend the lawyer David Peter (@ptr_dvd) directed me to a very important point regarding the war in the north, Article 51 of the UN Charter – the right to self-defense.

1. After the 9/11 attacks, the UN Security Council passed Resolutions 1368 and 1373 that condemned the Al-Qaeda attack and clarified that the right to self-defense also applies to non-state entities and called on countries to take measures against international terrorism.

2. Following the US invasion “In Afghanistan, an international norm has developed according to which an attacked country has the right to use force against a terrorist organization that operates from the territory of a sovereign country when that country is unable or unwilling to deal with the terrorist organization. As George W said. Bush in his speech a few days after the terrorist attack: “We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them”

3. The principle of a country unable or unwilling to deal with a terrorist organization operating on its territory was also adopted in the matter of the war against ISIS.

4. Lebanon does not comply with even one clause of Resolution 1701 and moreover it is the right and duty of the State of Israel to take the reins and reshape the security reality on the northern border. Mtsev: a screenshot from a detailed report by the Ecclesiastical Institute on the subject.

  1. Thanks once again for your explanation, peloni. I do remember this historical period in general terms, including the appeasement policy followed by the Israel government during this time. But my memory of the details is sketchy.
    And I would still appreciate it if you would refresh my memory about some of the “details” that you mention is your most recent response to my questions.

    What was the Wye agreement and what were its principal terms?

    Can you refresh my memory about “Abas, the leader of the MB in Israel” Is he still alive and active in Israeli politics today?

    What was the ” 2021 May War of Riots and Rockets?:

    What was the TSS?

    When did :apid serve as PM and what did he do in office?

    How was Samaria flooded with Arabs?

    What are NSO and Pegasis?

    I was not aware that the Israeli government has ever deeded state lands to Bedouins. Were these deeds issued to Bedouin in Judea-Samaria or in pre-1June 967 Israel?

    Again, many thanks for your patience with my questions. My memory of Israel history until roughly 1993 when the Oslo accords were signed, i still pretty fresh. Between then and the Jewish intifada of 202202023 it is blurry.

    You mentioned that the Bennet regime succeeded in staying inoffice for a time by making many “sacrifices”

    They ignored the infamy of the 2021 May War of Riots and Rockets, and instead paid the Israeli Arabs street with a massive cash payment to be paid out under the auspices of the local chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood. They also made Abas, the leader of the MB in Israel, a member of the govt, and gave him a Deputy PM position. In addition to this, they deeded state lands to the Bedouin. Bennett betrayed the commitment of reinstituting the policy of executions against Hamas for the 2021 war which was made by the war govt which he supported. It was also under his govt that the monitoring of Hamas handsets was ended, and it was his govt which acquiesced to pressure from the US, in coordination with the Israeli Left, to exclude NSO and Pegasus from being used with Israeli intelligence, which likely played a role in flying blindly into October 7. It was also Bennett who triggered early elections rather than allowing Shaked to help transition to a Bibi govt, which would have prevented Lapid from becoming PM. It was also Bennett who tolerated Gantz’ resuscitation of the TSS and the flooding of Samaria with Arabs making tantamount moves towards implementing the Wye Agreement. And finally, it was Bennett’s govt, under the control of Lapid thanks to Bennett, which capitulated to American demands that Israel give Hezbollah the gas fields during its lame duck period. Of course, these are just the more obvious sacrifices which come to mind while thinking back on Bennett’s betrayal of his voters, of the Right, and of the Zionist cause to appease his ego amid his shame as he promised to rule ten paces to the Right of Bibi, while knowing that he backfilled his power base with the most extreme elements which held a hard lock against that claim from the very day he made it.

  3. @peloni, You mentioned that the Bennet regime succeeded in staying inoffice for a time by making many “sacrifices” to Israeli public opinion. What were these “sacrifices?”

  4. @ Peloni: Many thanks for explaining all this to me. I also found out some of these facts myself by googling Chikli ‘s name myself . I discovered a brief article about him on Wilipedia (heavilybiased of course) and more accurate information on several Israel government websites and Chikli’s own web site.

    The war in Lebanon is a bit out of Chikli’s area of responsibility in certain respects since there are very few if any Jews left in Lebanon and he has no jurisdiction in military affairs. On the other hand, explaining Israel’s actions in Lebanon and justifying them to Diaspora Jews is very much within the responsibilities of his ministry.

    Peloni:Who, by the way are “Mtsev” and “Peter?” any clue?

    I dont know anything about Mr. Chikli. Who does he work for?

    Chikli is an Israeli citizen and has been an MK since . He has, of course, played a rather spectacular role in those five years, being part of the Yamina party which supported Bennett’s formation of a Leftist-Arab dominated govt of spare parts of 2021. In that govt he was made Minister of Social Equality, that is before he could no longer tolerate the multitude of sacrifices which that terrible govt came to make so that Bennet and then Lapid could pretend they had the support of the nation. Since Chikli’s defection from Bennett’s govt, he became and remains to this day one of Bennett’s greatest critic. In any event, he made his way onto the Likud list in the last election and is currently the Israel Minister of Diaspora and Combating Antisemitism in the current govt. In this role, he has maintained an outspoken support for Israel to pursue its own interests rather than that of its allies.

  6. I think Chikli must mean the Ecumenical Institute of Christian Churches, which has its central office in Lebanon. He misidentified it as the “Ecclesiastical Institute.” I dont know anything about Mr. Chikli. Who does he work for? Where does he live, and what country is he a citizen of?

  7. I don’t know anything about an “ecclesiastical institute” or what authority it has in Lebanon or Israel. This report needs to be clarifies. Israel does have the right and duty to put Resolution 1701 into effect in view of the complete failure of Lebanon or UNIFIL to do this.
