Rising Tension in the UK and Weaponizing International Law

Since October 7, the world has witnessed an alarming surge in disinformation, antisemitism, and targeted violence—old lies dressed in new rhetoric, spreading hatred and division across the Western world. Amid this darkness, a small but powerful group of voices has emerged to challenge the chaos with clarity, truth, and reason. One of the most eloquent and incisive among them is Natasha Hausdorff.

A lawyer and expert in international law, armed conflict, and national security, Natasha brings a uniquely informed and courageous perspective to these troubled times. With degrees from Oxford and Tel Aviv, a fellowship at Columbia, and experience clerking for the President of Israel’s Supreme Court, she now serves as Legal Director for UK Lawyers for Israel Charitable Trust.

In this episode of The Promised Land, we explore the legal and moral complexities of the current crisis, the shifting landscape in the UK, and what Natasha would say to Prime Ministers Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak if given the chance.
