“The International Court of Justice said on Wednesday that Israel must allow the U.N. aid agency in Gaza, known as UNRWA, to provide humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian territory. The Hague-based court was asked last year by the U.N. General Assembly to determine Israel’s legal obligations after the country effectively banned the agency, the main provider of aid to Gaza, from operating there. Israel ‘is under the obligation to agree to and facilitate relief schemes provided by the United Nations and its entities, including UNRWA,’ ICJ President Yuji Iwasawa said. … Israel has denied it has violated international law, saying the court’s proceedings are biased, and the country didn’t attend hearings in April. However, Israel provided a 38-page written submission for the court to consider. In a written statement, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected the opinion and said Israel ‘fully upholds its obligations under International Law.'” (10/22/25)
