The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Israel must allow UNRWA to provide humanitarian aid in Gaza, following a request from the UN General Assembly. The court emphasized Israel's obligation to facilitate UN relief efforts, despite Israel's claims of bias and refusal to attend hearings. The ruling comes amid a fragile ceasefire in Gaza, where ongoing Israeli actions have resulted in casualties. UN Secretary-General António Guterres welcomed the decision, while Israeli officials criticized it, claiming UNRWA is linked to terrorism. The ICJ's advisory opinion, although nonbinding, carries legal weight and follows previous rulings on Israel's actions in occupied territories.
