Israel Neglects to Engage in International Court of Justice (ICJ) Hearings in The Hague, Stands Firm in Its Accusations Against UN and UNRWA

The ICJ hearing revolves around Israel's duties in the Palestinian territories. During a press conference in Jerusalem, Israel's Foreign Minister, Gideon Saar, vented his wrath against the United Nations, especially the UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA. Israel accuses UNRWA of being riddled with Islamic terrorist organization Hamas members.

Ban on Work for UNRWA

Israel asserts that UNRWA employs over 1,400 recognized terrorists, some of whom were involved in a bloody massacre in Israel on October 7, 2023. Israel enforced a work ban on UNRWA in January, and the agency persists in its operations.

The United Nations General Assembly has delegated the ICJ, the apex UN court, to determine Israel's occupying power responsibilities to permit global humanitarian and development aid. Over 40 nations have declared their statements.

Aid Deliveries to Gaza Strip Halted Since Early March

Reports from the UN reveal that the Gaza Strip is undergoing the gravest humanitarian crisis since the onset of war approximately a year and a half ago. Israel closed all aid entry points into the Gaza Strip in March to apply pressure on the Islamic Hamas insurgency. Israel alleges that Hamas is confiscating aid supplies militarily and selling them at inflated prices to the civilian population. According to Saar, humanitarian aid has served as Hamas' primary source of income lately.

Israel Accuses United Nations of Robust Bias

In Jerusalem, Saar stated, "Israel has opted out of this circus." He labeled it "another attempt to politicize and misuse the legal process to harass Israel." The intent, Saar explained, is "to strip Israel of its fundamental right to self-defense."

Saar added, "No other country, neither a democracy nor any other government, has been brought before the ICJ as frequently as Israel." He highlighted the routine employment of double standards against Israel. "If the ICJ continues to be exploited for anti-Semitic purposes, it will lose its credibility and legitimacy," Saar warned.

Enrichment Data:

Overall, Israel's refusal to attend ICJ hearings and its accusations against the United Nations, particularly UNRWA, stem from consistent disputes over humanitarian operations and legal interpretations[1][2][4].

Accusations of UN Bias: Israel perceives UNRWA as tainted, claiming it has ties to Hamas and cannot maintain neutrality[1][2]. This belief has led Israel to restrict UNRWA's operations in Gaza, asserting that the measures hinder Hamas from using aid for militant purposes[1].
Legal Defense Strategy: Israel dismisses the ICJ hearings as part of a "systematic persecution and delegitimization" campaign, avoiding proceedings it considers biased[3]. Israel denies deliberately targeting civilians and argues that its security measures, including aid limitations, align with international law[3][4].
Disputed Aid Blockade: Israel contends that its blockade since March 2025 is essential to exert pressure on Hamas, debating charges of aid scarcities and asserting that humanitarian organizations overdramatize crises[1][4]. However, UN agencies report cases of severe malnutrition and aid obstructs[1][4].
Israel continues to assert that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) employs over 1,400 terrorists, some of whom were involved in a massacre in Israel, hence the work ban enforced in January.
The United Nations General Assembly has appointed the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to determine Israel's responsibilities as an occupying power, allowing global humanitarian and development aid, with over 40 nations declaring their statements.
Israel claims that aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip have been halted since early March, leading to the region's gravest humanitarian crisis, as Israel alleges Hamas is confiscating aid supplies and selling them at inflated prices.
Israel's Foreign Minister, Gideon Saar, accused the United Nations of a robust bias, labeling the ICJ proceedings as an attempt to politicize and misuse the legal process to harass Israel, stripping it of its right to self-defense.
