Israeli Obligations Under Scrutiny at ICJ Hearings on Gaza Aid Blockade

ai generated text

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has held public hearings regarding Israel's obligations as an occupying power in the Palestinian territory, with diplomats and lawyers from 40 countries and three multilateral organizations presenting their views. The court is tasked with determining Israel's legal obligations to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, which has been under Israeli bombardment since a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.

    1. I accuse UNRWA, I accuse the U.N., I accuse the secretary-general and I accuse all those that weaponized international law and its institutions in order to deprive the most attacked country in the world, Israel, of its most basic right to defend itself.

    1. Israel is starving, killing and displacing Palestinians while also targeting and blocking humanitarian organizations trying to save their lives.

    1. The urgency of this matter cannot be overstated. Gaza balances on the brink of famine. Hospitals lie in the ruins. Millions of Palestinians in the (Gaza) strip, as well as in the West Bank and East Jerusalem face existential despair.

    1. In sum, there is no legal requirement that an occupying power permit a specific third state or international organization to conduct activity in occupied territory that would compromise its security interests.

    1. The onus is on states to decide what they are going to do about [Israel's actions] and not to wait for the court to rule on what they already know.
