US EditionICJ: Israel Must Allow UNRWA, Other UN Agencies to Operate in Gaza
The International Court of Justice emphasized Israel's duty to allow UN and other agencies to deliver essential aid amid ongoing restrictions affecting nearly half a million Palestinians, UN officials said.
- On Wednesday, the International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion requiring Israel to facilitate humanitarian aid to Gaza, including allowing the United Nations Relief and Works Agency to operate.
- Following Israel's effective ban on UNRWA, the United Nations General Assembly requested ICJ guidance after Israel passed laws restricting the agency's activities.
- Aid groups warned parts of Gaza face famine and worsening conditions, while the United Nations World Food Programme reported only two crossings open despite plans for 600 aid trucks daily.
- Israel responded by saying it categorically rejected the ICJ advisory ruling as political and said it failed to address security concerns, while experts noted the opinion carries significant diplomatic weight.
- Judges also found the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation was not a viable replacement for UNRWA and said the advisory opinion builds on prior ICJ rulings, influencing U.N. operations beyond Gaza after the Oct. 10 ceasefire.
