US Backs Israel's UNRWA Ban Amidst Gaza Crisis | JQJO

The International Court of Justice is hearing arguments on Israel's obligation to provide humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. The U.S. argues Israel needn't use UNRWA, citing security concerns, while Russia champions UNRWA's crucial role. Israel, not participating in the hearings, has banned UNRWA from its territory, alleging staff involvement in Hamas attacks. The court's deliberations occur amidst a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with food supplies depleted and a ceasefire stalled, leading to accusations of Israel violating international law by starving and displacing Palestinians.
