The Importance of International Legitimacy

(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Katz - IDF Maj.-Gen. (res.) Aharon Ze'evi Farkash, head of Military Intelligence from 2001 to 2006, notes the required diplomatic support Israel will need after a strike to ensure that the Iranians are not allowed to rebuild their facilities and race toward the bomb. "An attack is not a single strike and once it happens we are in a whole other world," he said. "Iran will pull out of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, Khamenei and Ahmadinejad will reunite and it will be clear that they need a bomb now so that we cannot attack them again. This means that Israel will need legitimacy to be able to maintain the operation with more attacks within weeks, months and years after....This is the key to success or failure."
