Welcome to another episode of the Voice For Freedom podcast by ARISE. Today, we're excited to feature Andrew Tucker, an international lawyer and co-founder of the Hague Initiative For International Cooperation (Thinc). Host Simeon Myers and Andrew dive into the complexities of international law concerning Israel and the Palestinian territories. They discuss "lawfare," the misuse of legal frameworks for political purposes, and scrutinize claims of genocide against Israel. Andrew sheds light on the influence of geopolitical interests and funding in shaping global perspectives, as well as the intentions of Hamas and the roles of organizations like the UN and Amnesty International.
