The current press release of the Knesset from the subcommittee for ‘Security Doctrine’ chaired by MK Halevi raises tough questions. Unbelievable questions. There are allegedly tunnels and nothing is obviously done. Read what the testimonials said in the committee. Unbelievable.

“In terms of smuggling, yesterday I heard that over 30 arms smuggling incidents were identified recently. This is done with load-bearing drones. On Philadelphi Corridor, over 200 tunnels were found, meaning that something is not working properly in Egypt. The same work that was done on Philadelphi Corridor has to be done from Kerem Shalom southward. After October 7, everyone has to question the reality,” Elia Ben Shimol, a local security officer at Kerem Shalom, said.

Boaz, a deputy security officer at Shlomit, who was seriously injured on October 7: “We’re 500 meters from the Egyptian border, and the tunnels are greatly troubling us. We already returned on Purim, the entire locality, and before returning we broached the gaps—some were resolved, but not all. More important than the physical gap is the conceptual gap. Today we’re not addressing the question of whether it will blow up in our face, but when it will blow up. The army doesn’t admit that there are tunnels from Egypt, so I’m saying, there are tunnels to us from Egypt through Philadelphi Corridor. I can show you points on the map and if you dig there you’ll find tunnels. An infiltration event can happen either through a tunnel or from the air or through the fence. We see that we’re being observed daily.”

And finally, MK Nissim Vaturi (Likud): “I live in the easternmost locality in Israel, which is close to the Syrian border. We have to give the residents tools for coping so that they will be able to defend themselves. In most of the infiltrations from the Syrian border, it was civilians who caught them. The committee has to examine exactly which tools can be given to them.”

What is going on? How can this be? There must not be only answers, but solutions. Now. Basically, there needs to be something like a 2nd Amendment, the Right to Bear Arms.
