Saudi Arabia Condemns Israeli Aggression at ICJ
Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned Israel's military aggression in the Gaza Strip. The ongoing conflict has led to a humanitarian crisis, with Israel blocking aid and bombarding civilian areas. Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Mohamed Saud Alnasser, highlighted Israel's violations of international law. He stressed that Israel's actions are unjustifiable and have turned Gaza into a pile of rubble.
Israel's Violations of International Law
Moreover, Ambassador Alnasser reaffirmed Israel's policies in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem are flagrant violations of international law. Israel has ignored the ICJ's rulings and continued its settlement practices and occupation. Alnasser emphasized the importance of the ICJ's opinion in obligating Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. The situation is dire, with Israel's actions leading to inhumane conditions and the killing of UNRWA employees.
Additionally, the ICJ has opened a week of hearings on Israel's humanitarian obligations towards Palestinians. This comes over 50 days after Israel imposed a comprehensive blockade on aid entering Gaza. The ICJ will hear statements from numerous countries and organizations as it prepares an advisory opinion on Israel's responsibilities. UN representatives have begun a five-day marathon hearing at the ICJ, with Israel controlling all international aid flows vital to the 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza.
Saudi Arabia's Call for Action
Furthermore, Saudi Arabia has called for maximum pressure to ensure the continuous flow of aid into Gaza. The kingdom has condemned Israel's decision to cut electricity supplies to the Gaza Strip. Saudi Arabia urged the international community to take action. Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister, Faisal bin Farhan, has demanded the exercise of maximum pressure. This is to ensure the steady flow of aid into the war-battered Gaza Strip.
Saudi Arabia's strong condemnation of Israel's actions in Gaza highlights the urgent need for international intervention. The ICJ's hearings provide an opportunity to hold Israel accountable for its violations of international law. This is to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people.

UN experts accuse Israel of ‘extermination' in attacks on Gaza schools, religious sites
An independent United Nations commission said Tuesday that Israeli attacks on schools, religious sites, and cultural institutions in Gaza amount to war crimes and the crime against humanity of seeking to exterminate Palestinians. 'Israel has obliterated Gaza's education system and destroyed over half of all religious and cultural sites in the Gaza Strip,' the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory said in a report. It accused Israeli forces of committing 'war crimes, including directing attacks against civilians and wilful killing,' in attacks on educational facilities that caused civilian casualties. 'In killing civilians sheltering in schools and religious sites, Israeli security forces committed the crime against humanity of extermination,' the report said. While the destruction of cultural property, including educational facilities, was not in itself a genocidal act, the report added, 'evidence of such conduct may nevertheless infer genocidal intent to destroy a protected group.' Commission chair Navi Pillay said in a statement: 'We are seeing more and more indications that Israel is carrying out a concerted campaign to obliterate Palestinian life in Gaza.' 'Children in Gaza have lost their childhood,' she said. 'They are forced to worry about survival amid attacks, uncertainty, starvation, and subhuman living conditions.' The three-member commission said Israeli attacks 'targeted religious sites that served as places of refuge, killing hundreds of people, including women and children.' The commission was set up by the UN to investigate violations of humanitarian and human rights law in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories. In May, UN humanitarian relief chief Tom Fletcher urged UN Security Council members to take action 'to prevent genocide' in Gaza. Israel has denied committing genocide. Fletcher also demanded that Israel lift its aid blockade on Gaza, where the UN says the entire population of more than two million people is at risk of famine. 'For those killed and those whose voices are silenced: what more evidence do you need now?' Fletcher said on May 14. 'Will you act — decisively — to prevent genocide and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law?' The UN commission's report focused primarily on Gaza but also addressed Israeli actions in the occupied Palestinian territories more broadly, including East Jerusalem and inside Israel. It said Israel had 'done little' to prevent or prosecute Jewish settlers in the West Bank who 'intentionally targeted educational facilities and students to terrorise communities and force them to leave their homes.' The report also said Israeli authorities had intimidated and, in some cases, detained Israeli and Palestinian teachers and students who expressed concern or solidarity with Gaza's civilian population. The commission urged Israel to stop attacking cultural, religious, and educational institutions, 'immediately end its unlawful occupation of Palestinian territory,' and cease all settlement activity. It also said the Israeli government should comply fully with the provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice, which require Israel 'to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide against people in Gaza' and to allow the entry of humanitarian aid. The panel also called on Hamas to 'cease using civilian objects for military purposes.' Hamas fighters launched an attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, killing 1,218 people — mostly civilians — according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures. Israel's subsequent offensive has killed at least 54,880 people in Gaza, the majority of them civilians, according to the health ministry in Gaza. The UN considers those figures reliable.

Palestinians say local gunmen and Israeli forces opened fire near Gaza aid site
GAZA — Palestinians in Gaza say they were fired on once again as they headed to one of the aid distribution centres run by the Israeli- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation on Monday. Witnesses said that for the first time they were fired on by Palestinian gunmen near the GHF site in the Tal al-Sultan area of Rafah, in the south. They also said Israeli troops fired on them. Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry said six people were killed and 99 injured from areas designated for aid collection. The Israeli military said it was looking into the reports. The GHF said the Tal al-Sultan site did not open on Monday and that there were no incidents at two other sites which did hand out aid. It comes days after Israel's prime minister acknowledged that it was arming Palestinian clans in Gaza who were opposed to Hamas. Almost every day since the GHF began distributing aid on 26 May, there have been deadly incidents near one or other of the four centres it has so far opened. Dozens of Palestinians have been killed while approaching one site in the Tal al-Sultan area of Rafah on a route that runs through an Israeli military zone. In the previous incidents, witnesses have said that Israeli forces opened fire at crowds. The Israeli military has denied that troops fired at civilians within the site, but it has said that troops fired at "suspects" who ignored warning shots and approached them. In Monday's incident, people at the scene said that Palestinian gunmen shot at them, as well as Israeli forces. They said the gunmen appeared to be allied with the Israeli forces, as they were operating near them and moved back into an Israeli military zone. One witness told BBC Arabic's Middle East daily programme that he saw a group of young men dressed in civilian clothes and with their faces completely covered when he arrived in the area to get a box of food aid from the GHF site. "At first, we thought they might be Palestinian youths helping with the process, but suddenly, they began shooting at us," Hisham Saeed Salem said. "Even those who managed to get a box of aid were targeted and shot. We still don't know who these attackers are. They took everything from us - some even stole from us during the chaos," he added. Another man, Mohammed Sakout, said: "Several young men were shot and killed right behind me. I narrowly escaped death - some bullets passed just inches from my head." "At first, it was the Israeli army that was shooting at civilians. But today, we were shocked to discover the presence of gangs and militias," he added. At Nasser hospital in the nearby city of Khan Younis, a seriously injured man being treated for a gunshot wound to his neck, Mohammed Kabaga, told the Associated Press: "A group of masked armed men who were organising us starting firing towards us directly." "We went to get aid. They said to stand in line. We stood in line and suddenly they started shooting at us. While I was standing, I was surprised when a bullet hit me, I got dizzy and fell down," he said. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) told the BBC that it was looking into the reports. The GHF said in a statement that it opened two sites on Monday in the Saudi neighbourhood of Rafah and Wadi Gaza, in the centre of the Strip, and that "aid distribution at both sites proceeded without incident". When asked by the BBC about the reports from Tal al-Sultan, a GHF spokesperson said there was "nothing around our sites". However, a post on the group's Facebook account did say on Monday afternoon that the Tal al-Sultan centre was closed due to the "chaos of the crowds". The GHF's interim executive director, John Acree, said it had delivered more than 11 million meals over the past two weeks "without an injury or major incident at our distribution sites". Gaza's health ministry said hospitals had received a total of 127 dead and 1,287 injured people from "areas designated for aid distribution" during the same period. The GHF, which uses US private security contractors, aims to bypass the UN as the main supplier of aid to Palestinians. The UN and other aid groups refuse to co-operate with the new system, saying it contravenes the humanitarian principles of neutrality, impartiality, and independence. They also warn that Gaza's 2.1 million population faces catastrophic levels of hunger after an almost three-month total Israeli blockade that was partially eased three weeks ago. The US and Israel say the GHF's system will prevent aid being stolen by Hamas, which the group denies doing. The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage. At least 54,927 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's health ministry. — BBC

Israel says Hamas Gaza chief Sinwar's body identified
JERUSALEM — The Israeli military has said it has located and identified the body of Mohammed Sinwar, the military leader of the Palestinian armed group Hamas in Gaza. His body was discovered in a tunnel underneath the European Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Sunday. It said it had verified the body's identity through DNA checks — though Hamas has not publicly confirmed his death. Sinwar, 49, was killed in an air strike on 13 May, which the Hamas-run civil defense agency said killed 28 people and injured dozens. Sinwar's body was found alongside that of Mohammad Sabaneh, the commander of Hamas's Rafah Brigade, the IDF said. It added that "several items belonging to Sinwar and Sabaneh were located, along with additional intelligence findings that were transferred for further investigation". The IDF said other bodies were found, which it was looking to identify. It took a small group of foreign journalists into Gaza to Khan Younis to show them the tunnel on Sunday. It also published video of the small entrance to the tunnel, accessible through freshly dug earth just in front of the European Hospital. The footage shows a long, narrow underground corridor that leads to several rooms. Inside some of them, piles of clothes and plastic chairs are visible, with a rifle leaning up against the wall. One video also shows a shrouded body being pulled from the tunnel by a rope. IDF spokesperson Brig Gen Effie Defrin said that in one of the rooms they found the Sinwar's body. "This is another example of the cynical use by Hamas, using civilians as human shields, using civilian infrastructure, hospitals, again and again," he said. Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas of using hospitals as hiding places for weapons and command centers, which the group denies. The IDF has mounted sieges and attacks on hospitals in Gaza, or ordered their evacuation, leaving the territory's health system on the verge of total collapse. Such attacks have caused widespread international concern, as many hospitals and medical facilities have been put out of action — and the lives of patients and staff put at risk. In a statement after an Israeli strike on al-Ahli hospital in April, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres expressed his deep alarm and declared that, under international humanitarian law, the "wounded and sick, medical personnel and medical facilities, including hospitals, must be respected and protected". Hospital staff in Gaza have also repeatedly denied that Hamas is using their facilities as a base. The IDF will point to this latest footage as vindication of its claims and its military strategy. As with so much in Gaza, however, full independent verification is not possible. Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to the unprecedented cross-border attack on 7 October 2023 , in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage. At least 54,880 people have been killed in Gaza since, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry. The renewed fighting in Gaza comes following the collapse of a ceasefire and hostage exchange deal a few months ago. Since then, Israel has restated its aim to destroy Hamas and recover the hostages, of whom 54 remain in captivity and 23 are thought to still be alive. Mohammed Sinwar joined Hamas shortly after its founding in the late 1980s and became a member of the group's military wing, the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades. He rose through the ranks and by 2005 he was commander of the Khan Younis Brigade. Sinwar was also reported to have been close to another of Hamas's previous military chiefs, Mohammed Deif, and had been involved in the planning of the 7 October attack. His brother and predecessor, Yahya Sinwar — believed to be one of the masterminds behind the 7 October attack — was killed by Israeli troops last October. — BBC
