Passing time, waiting, counting minutes. One thing I felt friends and colleagues abroad didn’t fully get was that as long as there were hostages in Gaza, October 7th was not in the past. Every single day, every single act were overshadowed by the guilt of the abandonment of our brothers and sister.

1. With all eyes on Gaza, this bizarre, to say the least, statement by the Netanyahu government passed under the radar. If Israel’s position is now that the West Bank is de Jure part of Israel, what does this is imply for the legal framework of the law of occupation which Isreal itself applies?

In the midst of everything going on, glad to have had the opportunity to present my work on solidarity and constitutionalism, and advocate the notion of solidarity as one that can do actual work in the constitutional field, with regards to both constitutional design and interpretation.

Our article about the role of legal scholars in counter-populism is now available at ICON. It might have some takeaways for the US now. Bottom line: legal scholars are uniquely positioned to expose untruths about law/institutions, which often form the core of the populist argument. Link in reply

Comparative constitutional Law questions: for my ongoing project on solidarity and constitutionalism, looking for case law that applies, refers to or interprets the notions of solidarity/fraternity. Any references will be much appreciated!

1. There are reasons to worry that the government of Israel will manipulate the situation to impose sanctions on anyone that “cooperates with the ICC”, broadly defined, as means to suppress all criticism regarding the war and as a means to limit human right organizations.
