== The Rebbe's Response ==

In 1976, the PLO was added to the UN Security Council, a move that led to great risk to the security of Israel's residents. The Rebbe, as a result, instructed during a farbrengen on Yud Shevat of that year, that seventy-two rabbonim, corresponding to the seventy-two nations of the world, should stand and rule that the land belongs to Am Yisroel according to the Torah, and no one has permission to take any piece of land from Eretz Yisroel. Indeed during the farbrengen, Rabbi Ephraim Eliezer Hakohen ~~Yalles~~ stood and delivered a speech about the connection of Eretz Yisroel to Am Yisroel, and seventy-one rabbonim joined him by answering "Amen" to his words. Additionally, several other rabbonim spoke, including at the Rebbe's request, Rabbi Zalman Shimon Dvorkin, Rabbi DovBer Rivkin, Rabbi Yisroel Yitzchok Piekarski, and Rabbi Mordechai Mentlik. After counting seventy-two rabbonim, the Rebbe requested that the entire crowd say "L'chaim," as participation in a seudas simcha for the event.

During the First Lebanon War, Israel expelled the PLO from Beirut and southern Lebanon, and the organization's headquarters moved to Tunisia, where the United States arranged shelter for them before the evacuation. However, some PLO members remained in northern Lebanon (in the Tripoli area) until 1983 when Syria decided to try to take control of the PLO and remove Yasser Arafat. While the attempt failed, it caused a split in Fatah and the final expulsion of the PLO from Lebanon in 1985.

In 1986, the IDF attacked the headquarters in Tunis as part of Operation Wooden Leg, in which over 60 PLO members were killed - a move that the Rebbe criticized.

On 28 Nissan 1990, the PLO planned to carry out attacks in several locations around the world, including at 770 in order to harm ~~(Hashem yerachem)~~ the Rebbe. Yitzchak Shamir hurried to inform the Rebbe about this, who came out shortly afterward for Mincha prayer on that day of 28 Nissan 1990, and then gave a sicha in which he announced that he had received an update about the attacks that were going to take place, and asked the crowd to learn three chapters of Tehillim and give to tzedakah the payment of three meals instead of a fast. At the Rebbe's request, these matters were published in the general press. Indeed, in the end, nothing happened.
