ICJ orders Israel to allow aid into Gaza and says restrictions breached international obligations

omg, this is so worrying ! how can 1 country be so cruel to another? the ICJ's verdict is like a wake-up call for Israel - they need to step up their game & let aid reach Gaza ASAP! it's not right that Palestinians have to suffer like this just because of occupation. 2100+ lives lost already, and it's still going on... the ICJ president's words are so spot on - humanitarian situation in Gaza is indeed catastrophic . can't wait to see how the UN General Assembly handles this resolution #JusticeForGaza #EndOccupationNow #HumanitarianLawMatters

I'm really worried about what's happening in Gaza . I mean, you'd think that with all the international attention, Israel would at least try to ease up on these restrictions, but nope... it just seems like more of the same. The ICJ's verdict is a big deal, but I'm not sure if it'll make a difference in the long run . It's like they're just talking around the issue, you know? And what really gets me is that the UN General Assembly is gonna bring up this whole suspension thing... like, isn't that just gonna kick Israel to the curb instead of actually helping them out . I don't think anyone's done anything to address the root cause of the problem yet. It's all just a bunch of words on paper at this point .

this is so unfair , how can Israel just stop cooperating with Unrwa like that? they're just making it harder for people in Gaza to get the help they need . the ICJ's ruling makes total sense, I mean, it's basic human decency to let aid into a territory that needs it so badly . and 2100+ Palestinians killed is just... wow , can't we just get along and work together to solve these problems?

man this icj ruling is like super harsh on israel they gotta let aid in gaza freely and stop making life hard for those ppl its not cool that israel can just deny humanitarian help to someone its like a basic human right lol the ICJ president described it as catastrophic and i cant even imagine what thats like living in gaza with all these restrictions . Norway's deputy foreign minister said its a clear victory for humanitarian law and im like totally with him on that we need more ppl speaking up about this kinda thing its not just about israel or palestine its about humanity as a whole

I don't think it's fair to say that Israel is being unfairly targeted by the ICJ here... I mean, yeah, they are restricting aid into Gaza, but have you seen the tunnels and terrorist groups they're letting in? It's a tough situation. The ICJ's ruling is pretty clear, though - Israel does need to lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid. But let's not forget that Unrwa has been accused of supporting Hamas too... I'm not saying that's the ICJ's fault, but it's something to consider. We can't just throw our hands up and say "Israel's bad" without looking at all the complexities involved.

I don't usually comment but... it's super frustrating that Israel is getting away with these human rights abuses . I mean, come on, the ICJ is basically saying that Israel's actions are a clear breach of international law and yet they're still claiming they're doing everything right? It's like, no kidding, Israel, your actions have been causing massive suffering to innocent people in Gaza... what exactly did you expect from this verdict?

And I'm all for the UN General Assembly considering a resolution to suspend Israel from the organization - that would be a major step towards holding them accountable. The fact that Norway's deputy foreign minister is basically saying that Israel should comply with the ICJ's decision just shows that there are still some people who want to see justice done in this situation .

The World Health Organization's description of the situation as "catastrophic and beyond words" is so on point - it's like, can't we all just agree that what's happening in Gaza is a human tragedy?
