Recorded on Thursday, November 21, 2024, in the wake of the announcement by the International Criminal Court that arrest warrants have been issued for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, I sought out the insights and expertise of renowned legal scholar Professor Avi Bell, in order to gain his insights into this dreadful development, and to bring his conclusion to you by way of this conversation.
Professor Avi Bell is a member of the Faculty of Law at Bar Ilan University and the University of San Diego School of Law.
His fields of academic research include property and intellectual property law, international law, the laws of war, and the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Professor Bell is considered one of the leading researchers in Israel in the field of economic analysis of law, and he is a member of the Israeli Law & Economics Association as well as the American Law & Economics Association.
His papers have been published in leading law journals including Yale Law Journal, Stanford Law Review and Columbia Law Review.
Bell received his BA and JD from the University of Chicago and his doctorate from Harvard University.
He was director of the Global Law Forum at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs from 2008-2009.
I hope you get as much out of this conversation as I did and I encourage you to spread this discussion far and wide.
