VFHL Roundtable: "Bombs Don't Build Themselves: Who's Arming Israel's Wars?"

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has dropped explosive power equivalent to seven times the Hiroshima bomb on Gaza.

Where does this lethal arsenal originate, and which nations and corporations fuel this crisis?

This Roundtable examines the global arms trade network supplying weapons used against civilians, tracing supply chains, transit routes, and complicit entities. Panelists will unpack international legal frameworks meant to prevent these transfers—including the Arms Trade Treaty and humanitarian law—while assessing enforcement failures. Focusing on the arms pipeline to Israel, the discussion explores existing accountability mechanisms and how advocates can strengthen them.
