NOURNEWS- Born in the Western and Israeli media, Gabi Ashkenazi, who was born to a Syrian mother and a Bulgarian father, owes much of her fame to the Israeli war with Hamas in 2009.
His father is said to be among the Holocaust survivors.
In addition, he claims to have been involved in the design of the Stuxnet virus (a virus that attacked Iran's nuclear facilities in 2010) and when he was the Joint Chiefs of Staff with the plans of Ehud Barak and Benjamin Netanyahu to attack Iran. Has objected.
The American and Israeli media have reported on Ashkenazi:
Gabi Ashkenazi, chief of the Israeli Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2007 to 2011, has served in the new Zionist regime's coalition cabinet. Ashkenazi, 66, is the son of a Syrian mother and a Bulgarian father. He studied politics in Haifa and then traveled to Harvard University to study management (crisis management).
In 1972, Ashkenazi joined the Israeli army. He was both involved in the 1973 war between Israel and the Arab world and played a key role in the 1976 attack on the Israeli hijacked plane at Entebbe Airport (Uganda).
The Israeli commandos' attack on the plane took place without the knowledge of the Ugandan government, and is considered a case of "successful confrontation" with the hostage-taking. During the failed US attack to free the hostages at the US Embassy in Tehran in May 1980, as well as the US commandos' attack to assassinate Osama bin Laden in Abu Dhabi, Pakistan in May 2011, an experimental experience was used.
Ashkenazi later took part in the Lebanese war in the early 1990s and attacked Hezbollah and Saf.
Zionist Army Joint Chiefs of Staff and Stuxnet
During his presidency of the Israeli Joint Chiefs of Staff (2007-2001), Israel's first major war with Hamas took place in 2009. Who should be credited with Israel's "success" in this war (Ehud Barak, Minister of War or Ashkenazi, Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?), As well as issues arising from some other issues that led to a serious dispute between the two that escalated. He threatened and filed a lawsuit against each other, and the Ministry of Justice and the Anti-Corruption Department were opened. Ashkenazi said that after the not-so-successful 2006 war against Hezbollah, it was me who, with the successful war against Hamas in 2009, "revived the damaged credibility of the military." After the war, Ashkenazi became increasingly popular in Israel, and his prime ministership was discussed.
In 2011, when he stepped down as head of Israel's Joint Chiefs of Staff, he released a video in which he made two milestones, one in designing and managing an attack on Syria's nuclear facilities in 2007 and one in designing the Stuxent virus to shut down some facilities. Iran's core.
Ashkenazi spoke of Stuxnet's design in the film, but the Zionist regime has never officially claimed responsibility.
Opposition to an attack on Iran
In 2012, Zionist media outlets reported that in 2010 Ashkenazi had opposed a proposal by Netanyahu (Prime Minister) and Ehud Barak (then Minister of War) to raise the alert to a level that would prepare Israel for war and to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. Has resisted.
At the time, Mossad chief Meir Dagan also opposed the proposal. Dagan, who died in 2016, two years before the attack on Iran, as Mossad chief, had signed a plan to remove Emad Mughniyeh from Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance commanders.
Agree to leave JCPOA and a tougher policy in Syria and oppose the formation of a Palestinian state
Regarding Ashkenazi's opposition to the attack on Iran, Barack said that the opposition was because Ashkenazi believed that Israel would not be able to attack Iran alone. The Haaretz newspaper later wrote, quoting Ashkenazi, that the military was capable but personally considered such an attack a strategic mistake, as its consequences were incalculable and may delay Iran's nuclear program for just a few months.
Ashkenazi, of course, has recently denied a dispute with Netanyahu over the 2010 attack on Iran, saying he would prefer not to talk about it because Iran's nuclear program is still open to Israel and should not be kept secret.
However, he was a supporter of the abolition of Burjam and called on the Trump administration to implement the idea. In a debate in the United States in 2018, he said that unlike some Israeli security circles and officials concerned that the abolition of the IAEA Board might speed up Iran's nuclear program, he did not consider the consequences, and that Israel had the capacity and potential to do so. It can face any scenario in the region.
As foreign minister, Ashkenazi will not necessarily pursue a softer policy toward Netanyahu's cabinet. In particular, he described Netanyahu's policies toward Iran's presence in Syria as weak, did not have a clear view of the formation of a Palestinian state, and did not oppose the annexation of the West Bank to Israel.
According to US media reports, Ashkenazi's talks with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday in the Occupied Territories also showed full coordination between the two sides' understanding and views on Iran.
Ashkenazi's challenges in the Zionist regime's foreign ministry
In recent years, when Israeli policy has become increasingly security and military, the State Department has been less likely to maneuver and act as a facilitator of more lenient policies, and has even seen budget cuts. The occasional strike by Israeli diplomatic staff since 2011 to protest the low level of their rights is also seen as a symbol of the State Department's position on Israeli policy as a whole.
The fact that Ashkenazi is now trying to establish a superior position for the State Department in the whole of Zionist policies can itself be a place for possible challenges in the new cabinet.
Netanyahu's restriction
Ashkenazi said his recent entry into politics and membership in the Blue-White Coalition was to prevent the formation of a coalition cabinet of the Likud party, led by Netanyahu, with far-right and racist parties.
Given Ashkenazi's role in the military, it may have been more appropriate for him to become Secretary of War, but with more powerful figures such as Benny Gantz and Moshe Ya'alon at the helm of the blue-and-white coalition, it was clear that Ashkenazi would not be reached.
