Welcome to “Basic Law,” your weekly deep dive into the legal arguments shaping Israel’s future. Hosted by Aylana Meisel, founder and executive director of the Israeli Law and Liberty Forum at the Herut Center, this show brings expert legal analysis to the biggest challenges Israel faces on the world stage.
This week, British barrister and international law expert Natasha Hausdorff joins us to break down:
✅ Israel’s Legal Obligations in War: Does international law require Israel to supply aid to Gaza?
✅ Occupation and Effective Control: Why claims that Israel occupies Gaza don’t hold up under real legal scrutiny.
✅ The ICJ and ICC Cases Against Israel: Are charges of “genocide” and “war crimes” legitimate, or is international law being weaponized?
✅ Hamas and Aid Diversion: Why international aid fuels terror, and how Israel’s legal position justifies its policies.
✅ The Deep Bias in Global Courts: How international institutions manipulate law to undermine Israel and Western values.
