The Palestinian representatives of the United Nations and the International Court of Justice violated international law on the first day of the hearing.

Since March 2, Israel has completely cut off all supplies from 2.3 million residents in the Gaza Strip, and the food stored during the ceasefire at the beginning of the year has almost been used up.

The UN Legal Counsel said at a hearing held by the United Nations Supreme Court that Israel has a clear obligation to occupy the forces to allow and promote humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza.

"In the specific circumstances of the coronavirus situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, these obligations require that all relevant United Nations entities be engaged in activities for the benefit of the local population," said Elinor Hammarskjold.

Palestine representative Ammar Hijazi said Israel is using humanitarian aid as a “weapon of war” and people in Gaza are facing hunger.

Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said Israel had submitted its written form to the hearing, which he described as a "circus."

Speaking in Jerusalem on Monday, Saar said the court was politicizing and the United Nations failed to root its Palestinian Refugee employees in members of the Gaza armed group.

"They abused the court again and tried to force Israel to work with a group infected with Hamas terrorists," Saar said. "The aim is to deprive Israel of its most basic right to defend itself."

The United Nations said in August that nine foreign-Dutch industrial personnel may have participated in Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack and were fired. According to Israel, another Hamas commander identified by the North Current Agency as one of its employees was killed in Gaza in October.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ), also known as the World Court, was appointed in December to advise on Israel's promotion of aid to Palestinians, with obligations provided by states and international groups, including the United Nations.

Israel has repeatedly stated that it will not allow goods and supplies to enter Gaza until Hamas releases all remaining hostages. It accused Hamas of hijacking humanitarian aid denied by the armed groups.

"The case is about Israel's destruction of the basic principles of life in Palestine, and it prevents the United Nations and other providers of humanitarian aid from providing life-saving assistance to the population," Hijazi, the head of the Palestinian missionary mission sent to the Netherlands, told the hearing.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that he has allowed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to enter Gaza. Germany, France and the United Kingdom last week called for unhindered access to the surrounded Palestinian territory.

The ICJ's advisory opinions have legal and political weight, although they are not binding and the courts have no enforcement powers.

After the hearing, it may take several months for the World Court to form an opinion.
