Diaspora Minister Tells TML War With Iran Is Battle of ‘Freedom Against Despotism’
In an interview with TML, Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli frames the war with Iran as a fight for all of Western civilization. ‘But if we need to fight this war alone, we will,’ he says.
As Israel’s war with Iran intensifies, debate is growing over whether the Jewish state can eliminate Iran’s nuclear capabilities. But for Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli, the stakes go far beyond enrichment sites and missile silos. “This is a moral war against a terror, fanatic, dictatorship regime, evil regime, against Western civilization,” Chikli said in an interview with The Media Line’s Felice Friedson. “It is death against life. It is freedom against despotism. That is the nature of this war.”
