The Legality of Israel's Fight Against Hamas
(X) Hillel Neuer - Lord Guglielmo Verdirame, professor and barrister in public international law, told the UK's House of Lords on Wednesday: "Israel has described its war aims as the destruction of Hamas' capability. From a legal perspective, these war aims are consistent with proportionality in the law of self-defense, given what Hamas says it does and what Hamas has done and continues to do. Asking a state that is acting in self-defense to agree to a ceasefire before its lawful defensive objectives have been met is, in effect, asking that state to stop defending itself."
