“The Israeli Supreme Court and the War on Gaza” (via zoom) with Yahli Shereshevsky, Haifa University

Dr. Shereshevsky will discuss recent cases in the Israeli Supreme Court in the context of the war in Gaza and how the Court’s approach can be explained through broader discussions of the application of international law in domestic courts. Specifically, he will examine these cases against the backdrop of the various international proceedings related to the war, as well as the recent domestic tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary.
