The United Nations General Assembly (GA) asked the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to give a non-binding advisory opinion on Israel’s obligations to facilitate aid into Palestinian territory. Starting April 28, for one week, diplomats and lawyers from 40 countries and three multilateral organizations argued in the Hague to try to force Israel to allow aid to enter. Once again Israel chose to ignore the ICJ, considered the World Court. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar called it “another shameful proceeding” meant to delegitimize Israel.
