FIGHTING LEGAL BATTLES AGAINST TERROR, ANTISEMITISM &
DE-LEGITIMIZATION OF ISRAEL
The International Legal Forum (ILF) is an independent, Israel-based NGO and pro-active global network of over 4,000 lawyers and activists in 40 countries, who have been at the forefront of the legal battle for Israel in the wake of the October 7th massacre by Hamas, while combating terror, BDS, and antisemitism in the international legal arena.
LATEST UPDATES
ILF CEO Arsen Ostrovsky and John Spencer, have written an op-ed in Newsweek, slamming Amnesty International, over their outrageous report reinvening the meaning of genocide to accuse Israel over their actions in Gaza. As Ostrovsky and Spencer note, if anyone ought to be guilty of genocide here, it is Hamas, over what they inflicted on Oct 7th, not the IDF, who have gone above and beyond to comply with international humanitarian law and avoid harm to civilians.
ILF was quoted in the NY Post, on the latest UN Gaza ceasefire vote, that failed to even mention Hamas or link any ceasefire to the release of hostages.
ILF: “Simply put, the United Nations has become the diplomatic arm of Hamas, where with each resolution, it is voting itself into utter irrelevance. Countries which voted in favor of this resolution, or cowardly abstained, only abandoned the hostages and rewarded the murderers, rapists and abductors of Hamas.”
The ILF is quoted in this Jewish Chronicle article on new revelations of gross anti-Israel bias by the Special Advisors to ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan, only further underscoring the already grave concerns about the court's lack of impartiality and undermining of the very international legal order.
