FIDF Chief Executive Officer Steve Weil is joined by Major (Res.) Ben Wahlhaus from the IDF International Law Department who talks about his familiarity and expertise with International Law, the events and consequences of October 7 from his seat, the harm Hamas has caused to its civilians, Israel's overdelivering of humanitarian aid in Gaza. Major (Res.) Ben Wahlhaus shows us examples of Hamas militants hiding weapons, using schools and UN facilities for military purposes, placing explosives in and adjacent to hospitals.

He shows the breakdown of the IDF's evacuation map for the civilian population in Gaza, how the IDF informs Gaza civilians of tactical pauses, maps of the humanitarian zones, and the destruction caused by Hamas at the Erez Crossing forcing its closure.

Major (Res.) Ben Wahlhaus answers questions about being tried at The Hague, his role pertaining to the law of Judea and Samaria, and his relationship with law departments from other nations.

Later, FIDF National Director Major General (Res.) Nadav Padan provides a briefing on defending Israel's democracy, an update of threats from Lebanon, the challenges presented by Rafah, all that will go into the continued mission of eliminating Hamas, and answers questions about what is going on in western Khan Yunis, the success of the IDF's maneuvers in Gaza based on how complicated the area is, and praising the young generation of soldiers in the IDF.
