The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations' highest judicial body, has begun hearings to determine Israel's responsibilities in providing humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. Over 40 countries are participating, reflecting global concern about the dire humanitarian situation in these territories. The court is examining whether Israel is doing enough to ensure and facilitate the delivery of urgently needed assistance. This move comes amid ongoing conflict and widespread reports of shortages of food, medicine, and other essentials in Gaza. The ICJ's findings could increase international pressure on Israel to change its policies regarding aid access.
