Daniel Reisner

Former IDF official Daniel Reisner discusses targeted killings, military ethics, and peace prospects in the Middle East. He shares insights on international law, peace negotiations, and contrasts between American and Israeli perspectives. Reisner recounts his military experiences in Lebanon, ethical dilemmas, and the complexities of decision-making in wartime. The conversation also covers personal data risks, moral considerations in national security, legal battles, and the challenges posed by 'lawfare' targeting Israel's legitimacy.

From January 17, 2015: This week, Ben and Matt Waxman sat down with Daniel Reisner, former head of the International Law Branch of the Israeli Defense Forces and current partner with Herzog, Fox and Neeman. Reisner has also served as a senior member of Israel’s peace delegations over the years, participating in negotiation sessions and summits including those at Camp David. He continues to advise senior members of the Israeli government on a variety of issues relating to international law and operational security issues. Colonel Reisner was in New York on a visit sponsored by Academic Exchange for a series of events and discussions on contemporary national security challenges. His experiences set up a wide-ranging conversation touching on everything from the law of targeted killing to the role of morality in operational law advice.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.
