The International Court of Justice says Israel has obligation to ensure and facilitate humanitarian relief to Palestinians.
The International Court of Justice also Rejected EVERY SINGLE LIE Israel Told to Them
The world’s top court on Wednesday ruled that Israel‘s ban on the UN’s main humanitarian provider to Palestinians and its restrictions on aid to Gaza and the occupied West Bank violate international law.
The court unanimously found that Israel as an occupying power is required to fulfil its obligations under international humanitarian law, including to ensure that Palestinians have essential supplies of daily life including food, medical supplies and shelter.
It also ruled by 10 votes to 1 that Israel must agree to and facilitate by all means at its disposal relief schemes for the people of Gaza and not impede them.
That includes those provided by the United Nations and its entities, in particular the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa.
The court also ruled that Israel must abide by its obligations under international law not to forcibly displace or transfer the population under its occupation, and to respect the prohibition of the use of statvation as a method of war.
The court added that Israel must cooperate in good faith with the United Nations, including Unrwa, and to respect and ensure respect for the privileges and immunites accorded to the UN’s premises and officials.
In its advisory opinion, the court found that Israel has failed to substantiate its claims that a significant number of Unrwa staff are affiliated to Hamas.
It also emphasised its opinion that Unrwa is “impartial” and indispensable for the provision of relief to Palestinians, as mandated by the UN General Assembly.
The court also noted Israel’s total siege on Gaza between 2 March and 18 May, and the attempt to replace the work of the UN with the highly controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
The court found that Israel, through the GHF, had not ensured that the population of the Gaza Strip is adequately supplied as required by international humanitarian law.
“The court notes the UN acting through Unrwa had been an indispensable provider of humanitarian relief,” the opinion read.
“The court considers that Israel is under an obligation to agree to and faciliate relief schemes provided by the UN and its entities, including Unrwa.”
The advisory opinion comes six months after hearings by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, where more than 40 states and international organisations presented evidence mostly arguing that Israel had breached its international legal obligations to facilitate the entry of aid to the Palestinian population under its occupation.
Only the US and Hungary disputed the majority opinion, arguing for an interpretation of international humanitarian law in favour of limiting such obligation due to military necessity and Israel’s security.
The case was prompted by Israel banning Unrwa, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, in October 2024, an event that sparked global outrage and calls for Israel to be ejected from the United Nations due to accusations that it violated the founding charter, particularly the privileges and immunities enjoyed by its agencies.
Wednesday’s ruling is the third advisory opinion case since 2004 to be heard before the ICJ in relation to Israel’s violations of international law.
ICJ advisory opinions are highly authoritative among states and the court’s interpretation of a legal question is considered binding as a matter of general international law. This latest ICJ ruling tightens legal noose around Israeli regime over Gaza genocide

Unreal! Can you keep the party noise down there Israel the elder neighbors are complaining your rockets and bullets are just a tad too loud whistling over head and smashing into buildings and odd slow citizen walking their dog.
simple slap on the wrist to consider maybe not to tossing weapons and surmounts of ordinance over to Gaza. The shotgun at point blank range to maybe quiet a barking dog. Let alone kill or was that Murder Death Kill.
Something this planet is entertaining its high level of casualties. Nothing much suffered from the fake stage show previous couple year based on a computer model in crisper.
Now with this type of party buster shennanigans. Only brought a few standing to attention in Hungary and maybe parts of the America's per. Shame. "Its the new dawn". Wonder if Country Joe and Fish might author a 2nd version of their Vietnam song " uncle Sam Islam has him self in a terrible jam way down yonder in Is'A'rael." Thought he'd toss a few stinger missile made in the US of A, such Screams and whistles till it Kills again" Never know could be the new catchy morning radio show highlight. And we're the civilized masters of all life on this planet. Hmmm some might even call Red Rose in on the vibe … Pity!
Who will put to Netanyahu in his Demonic genocide program & plan to humanity,?? I thought that White Hat special forces are now preparing to execute their plan of eliminations to the last patriotic minions of the negative Anunnaki that base under ground tunnel in Israel,
