    International Legal Experts Unite for Israel’s Cause

    Published on

    Background

    The World Jewish Congress, in cooperation with Lawyers for Israel and Stand with Humanity, has launched the International Lawyers’ Solidarity Mission to Israel. This week, 30 top legal experts from around the world will foster international legal solidarity and key humanitarian advocacy for the Israeli nation.

    Why It Matters

    The Mission brings together partners, managing directors, senior legal experts, and in-house counsel from world-renowned business and technology sectors to engage with Israel’s current situation from a legal perspective. Law firms such as White & Case, Gibson Dunn, Greenberg Traurig, McDermott Will & Emery, and WilmerHale are amongst the participants. This event is a clear indication of the international legal community’s stance towards providing accurate, legally-structured content to combat issues faced by Israel.

    Quotes of Note

    “Our presence is a testament to our commitment of providing lawyers around the world with factual based content in a legal prism,” states Idan Nishlis, CEO of Nishlis Legal Marketing and co-founder of Lawyers for Israel. The mission underscores a commitment to justice for those affected by the unrest in Israel.

    Expressing steadfast support, Sara Friedman, CMO at the World Jewish Congress, emphasizes, “We are here, unyielding and vigilant, in unwavering support of Israel’s rights and security,” affirming their commitment to Israel’s people and future safety.

    The Agenda

    The delegation’s itinerary includes discussions with prominent figures such as Ayelet Shaked, the ex-Minister of Justice, and Colonel (Res.) Daniel Reisner, former head of the International Law Branch of the IDF Legal Division. Participants will join forces with the Hostage & Missing Families Forum and will visit significant localities like Kibbutz Kfar Aza to gain comprehensive insight into the country’s legal challenges and humanitarian efforts.

    The Bottom Line

    This international congregation of legal minds underscores their unspoken pledge: Israel does not stand alone. As entities such as the WJC mobilize global support, the International Lawyers’ Solidarity Mission to Israel exemplifies the strong international relationships and advocacy efforts integral to Israel’s resilience and international backing amidst adversities.
