those who would ever


Explanation:
- We will firmly opposed/respond to those (anyone) who would ever jeopardize national security
- We will firmly deal with anyone who would ever jeopardize national security
- We will not allow any undermining of national security

I make three choices:
switching impersonal -> personnal
لاتهاون -> we

idiomatic -> free combination
تسول لة نفسة -> would ever

implicit -> explicit
المساس بأمن الوطن -> jeopardize the national security

But you need to check text to see if these choices go with linguistic coherence.

Good luck
