“Israel cannot be forced to allow the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA, to operate in Gaza, the United States argued Wednesday at an International Court of Justice (ICJ) hearing in The Hague. Israel last year passed a law that banned UNRWA from operating in the country, as it said the organization had employed members of Hamas who took part in the October 7, 2023, onslaught, among a series of other accusations that the organization runs schools that incite to terrorism, perpetuates the refugee status by passing it by generation unlike the rest of the world’s refugees, and more. … The ICJ, also known as the World Court, on Monday opened a week of hearings on Israel’s humanitarian obligations toward the Palestinians, more than 50 days into its blockade on aid entering war-ravaged Gaza, which is aimed at pressuring Hamas to release the 59 hostages it is holding, 24 of whom are believed alive.” (04/30/25)
