A screenshot of an Instagram post from the German youth news program 'zdflogo'. The image shows a video frame on the left of Valentin von Stosch speaking. A lower-third graphic identifies him as "Valentin von Stosch, Jurist, Experte für Völkerrecht." The text caption on the right discusses the Iran-Israel conflict and asks about the role of 'Völkerrecht' (international law). It states that the program interviewed two experts who share the same assessment, and contrasts this expert consensus with differing opinions among politicians.
