#Israel is escalating aggressively in the region, striking sovereign, #UN-member states #Iraq, #Syria & #Lebanon in violation of international law. Important to note that any retaliatory measures from within any of these states against Israel & its military allies are legal.
Int'l law only allows "use of force" vs a sovereign state 1) in self-defense; retaliation against military aggression upon a state's territorial integrity 2) UNSC-authorized "collective action" to maintain int'l peace & security. #Israel has neither of these legal justifications.
#Israel asserts that it has to right to preemptively target perceived adversaries in any country, at any time, in any manner. This is illegal, rogue state behavior and an immediate threat to international peace & security. UN member states must censure Israel - or be complicit.
#Israel's recent illegal aggressions against Iraq, Lebanon & Syria are meant to trigger retaliation (legal) in order to draw the US into a regional war. It is a desperate, unhinged last-ditch effort after attempts to ignite US-Iran conflict in the Persian Gulf failed.
Interesting to note that Israeli military aggressions against regional states are escalating as rumors swirl of European-brokered talks between Iran and the US.
