ICJ Hears Case on Israel's Gaza Aid Blockade | JQJO

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is hearing a case concerning Israel's responsibility to allow humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. The UN General Assembly requested the ICJ's opinion after Israel barred UN agency UNRWA from operating, leading to severe aid shortages since March. Palestinians accuse Israel of weaponizing aid blockades, while Israel, refusing oral submissions this week, claims the UN is anti-Israel and antisemitic. The five-day hearing will determine Israel's obligations regarding humanitarian access.
