Gadi is a PhD. Candidate at the Zvi Meitar Center for advanced legal studies. In his research, under the supervision of Dr. Eliav Leiblich and Prof. Yaniv Roznai, Gadi examines the constitutional arrangements and war clauses in various countries and compares them to their practical application, and justifications under international law. In his thesis, Gadi focused on the “global legislation” of the UN Security Council, and the contribution of its resolutions to customary international law.

While studying, Gadi counsels different entities on public and constitutional law. In addition, he teaches the course “Contemporary Issues in Israel”, as part of the Parasol Foundation International LL.M.

Moreover, he frequently lectures in various forums worldwide on the complexities of applying humanitarian law in the field.

Previously, Gadi worked as a legal adviser in the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and later, in the defense establishment, where he dealt with international strategic matters.
