Your choice of words is poor. When you use the phrase asking if Israel has the right, you imply that there is some authority which has responsibility for granting same. Obviously, as a sovereign nation, Israel, like any other nation, has whatever right it and it alone deems necessary to act in its own interests. Only its own people will sit in judgment as to whether or not their government 'had the right.'
