The International Court of Justice is set to hear from 40 countries on Israel's legal obligations to provide humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. The court has been asked to give an advisory opinion on the matter, which is expected to take several months. Last year, the court issued a condemnation of Israel's rule over the occupied Palestinian territories, finding it unlawful and calling for it to end. The court has previously ruled on Israel's construction of a barrier between Israel and the West Bank, stating that it violated international law. The International Criminal Court has also issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others, accusing them of war crimes in connection with the war in Gaza.
