US EditionUS backs Israel's ban on UNRWA Gaza aid operations at World Court
- On April 28, 2025, the International Court of Justice in The Hague held hearings on Israel's obligations to provide humanitarian aid in Gaza and the West Bank.
- The hearings followed a UN General Assembly request amid allegations that Israel breaches international law by blocking aid and targeting humanitarian groups.
- The United States stated Israel must supply aid but is not required to cooperate with UNRWA, which Israel banned in January citing security concerns after Hamas attacks by some UNRWA staff.
- Josh Simmons, a legal adviser from the U.S. State Department, stated that an occupying power has discretion in deciding which humanitarian aid programs it allows, highlighting Israel’s issues with UNRWA’s neutrality.
- The hearings occur amid Gaza's worsening humanitarian crisis, with Israel blocking supplies since March 2 and food stocks depleted, raising fears of famine for 2.3 million residents.
