US slams International Court of Justice’s ‘nakedly politicized’ ruling against Israel on UNWRA

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration blasts “another corrupt ruling” by the International Court of Justice, after the top international tribunal issued an advisory opinion on Wednesday asserting that Israel is legally obligated to allow the UN’s controversial Palestinian refugee agency to provide humanitarian assistance in Gaza and that the provision of aid to the Strip during the war was inadequate.

“As President Trump and Secretary Rubio work tirelessly to bring peace to the region, this so-called ‘court’ issues a nakedly politicized non-binding ‘advisory opinion’ unfairly bashes Israel and gives UNRWA a free pass for its deep entanglement with and material support for Hamas terrorism,” says a statement from the State Department.

“This ICJ’s ongoing abuse of its advisory opinion discretion suggests that it is nothing more than a partisan political tool, which can be weaponized against Americans,” the US statement adds.
