Hague - Saba:
Public hearings for an advisory opinion regarding the Zionist entity's obligations towards the United Nations and its agencies and bodies in the occupied Palestinian territories continue for the fourth day in The Hague.
On Monday, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) began a week of hearings on Israel's humanitarian obligations towards the Palestinians, more than 50 days after it imposed a comprehensive blockade on the entry of aid to the war-torn Gaza Strip.
This week, 38 countries are presenting their arguments, including the United States, China, France, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, as well as the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the African Union.
According to the court's agenda, the hearings (oral arguments) will be held from April 28 to May 2, 2025, with 44 countries and four international organizations expressing their intention to participate in the proceedings before the court.
This move follows a resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly last December, proposed by Norway, calling on the ICJ to issue an advisory opinion outlining Israel's obligations to facilitate and ensure unimpeded access to urgent humanitarian supplies to the Palestinians.
