Pakistan has called on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to declare the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories as unlawful, marking a significant moment in international law amid the ongoing conflict. This move comes as global support for the Palestinian cause grows and criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza intensifies. Concurrently, the United Kingdom has expressed its stance at the ICJ, advocating for a negotiated two-state solution and urging the court not to issue an advisory opinion on the occupation, emphasizing negotiations over court decisions. The situation is further complicated by allegations against the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), with new U.S. intelligence suggesting UNRWA employees may have assisted in a Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th. These allegations have led to the U.S. pausing funding to UNRWA, crucial for delivering aid to Palestinians in Gaza. UNRWA has warned it might suspend operations in Gaza due to a lack of funding, potentially leaving millions without essential humanitarian assistance. Amidst these developments, Palestinian authorities are calling for humanitarian intervention to prevent a catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, where the ongoing conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths, injuries, and displacements. The ICJ has also been demanded to ensure the withdrawal of weapons from the Gaza Strip.

UNRWA running a campaign claiming people can't say "I did not know" is the height of sick irony. As a reminder, @UNRWA employed terrorist murderers, allowed its schools to be used as weapons depots, and ignored the Hamas terror bases built under its facilities. https://t.co/th5Gw9JIZz
No one in @UNRWA can claim “I did not know” when your workers murdered, raped and kidnapped Israelis! We cannot turn a blind eye to UNRWA’s hypocrisy any longer. #DefundUNRWA https://t.co/x0T5nSkTG7

On October 7th, your employees raped, killed & kidnapped Jews. For years, your employees taught Palestinian children to hate & kill Jews. For years, your employees aided & abetted Hamas and purposely kept Palestinians in permanent refugee status. @UNRWA must be disbanded now. https://t.co/QvsL3TU3wD
