Palestine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomes the new ICJ provisions, saying they challenge “Israel’s historic rebellion against international law”.

It added that the “kidnapping” of more than two million Palestinians and their starvation constitutes an unprecedented crime.

“The ministry believes the credibility of international law and its institutions is at its final test for what concerns its ability to let aid [into Gaza] in a sustainable way,” it said in a post on X.
“There are no excuses for the international community’s terrible failure to protect civilians and to provide the needed humanitarian assistance.”
