Judges at the UN’s top court issue unanimous decision and say Palestinians are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance
In its legally binding order, the court told Israel to take “all necessary and effective measures to ensure, without delay, in full cooperation with the United Nations, the unhindered provision at scale by all concerned of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance” including food, water, fuel and medical supplies.
The ICJ also ordered Israel to immediately ensure “that its military does not commit acts which constitute a violation of any of the rights of the Palestinians in Gaza as a protected group under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, including by preventing, through any action, the delivery of urgently needed humanitarian assistance.”

It was a unanimous decision of 16 -0 from the judges [i.e. no doubts]
Plus the binding UNSC ceasefire resolution
Plus Francesca Albanese's report.
Plus UNHCR report on the occupied territories
Perhaps it is time for the Biden Administration to change its rhetoric.
Just thought.
I am preparing a diary for over the holiday weekend.
