Norway Asks ICJ On Israeli Ban

Norway is to ask the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for an advisory opinion after the Israeli occupation Knesset prevented UNRWA from practicing its work in Israel-occupied territories which makes the agency unable to enter aid to the Gaza Strip, according to The Guardian.

Norway’s deputy foreign minister, Andreas Motzfeldt Kravik, discussed at the United Nations in New York to draft resolution about this issue for the UN General Assembly.

“The international community cannot accept that the UN, international humanitarian organisations, and states continue to face systematic obstacles when working in Palestine and delivering humanitarian assistance to Palestinians under occupation,” Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said.
