Israel\u2019s obligations to provide humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank are also the subject of a weeklong hearing at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), following a request for an advisory opinion from the UN General Assembly last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the fourth day of hearings on Thursday, Qatar\u2019s ambassador to the Netherlands, Mutlaq al-Qahtani, told the court Israel has continued its \u201cgenocidal war against the Palestinian people\u201d and increased settlement efforts in the occupied West Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Palestinians in Gaza continue to face \u201cfamine-like conditions\u201d as Israel continues to block \u201cany delivery of life-saving aid\u201d, said Mutlaq al-Qahtani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israel has jeopardised the existence of the UN agency for Palestine refugees, UNRWA, which is the \u201cbackbone\u201d of humanitarian and development assistance in the occupied territory, added the Qatari diplomat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
