ICJ to give opinion on Israel's UN and Palestinian aid obligations

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is set to provide an advisory opinion on Israel's obligations towards UN agencies and humanitarian aid in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, including the delivery of essential supplies to Palestinians. This follows Israel's parliament passing laws restricting UN agency activities, accusing Unrwa of Hamas infiltration. The ICJ's non-binding opinion will clarify legal questions raised by the UN General Assembly, addressing issues of international humanitarian law and Israel's duties as an occupying power.
