Monique Beadle and Uri Morad from the Jerusalem Institute of Justice critically examine the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) advisory opinion against Israel issued on October 22, 2025. They discuss the implications of the ICJ’s findings, which assert that Israel must support UN humanitarian efforts in Gaza and address allegations of UNRWA staff involvement with Hamas. They highlight the political biases in the case, the legal conflicts Israel faces, and provide evidence presented by Israel demonstrating UNRWA’s compromised operations. The episode underscores the broader issue of politics overtaking principles in international law.
