All eyes on Gaza as aid teams retrieve first lifesaving relief in months
According to the UN World Health Organization (WHO) at least 57 children have reportedly died from the effects of malnutrition, according to the local health authorities. The number is likely an underestimate and is expected to increase if the aid blockade continues.
In their latest report, respected and UN-partnered food insecurity experts warned that nearly 71 000 children under the age of five are expected to be acutely malnourished over the next 11 months unless Gazans can access sufficient food and healthcare support.
Some flour reaches Gaza as blockade eases, aid groups call for more
(May 22, 20255:20 PM GMT+2Updated 39 min ago)
Flour and other aid started reaching some of Gaza‘s most vulnerable areas on Thursday after Israel let some trucks through, but nowhere near enough to make up for shortages caused by an 11-week blockade, Palestinian officials said.
Many other trucks were still at the border, and people were still waiting to receive food, amid fears that desperate crowds would try to loot the vehicles when they arrived, the Palestinian Red Crescent warned.

Fresh Bread Returns to Gaza for the First Time in Over Two Months as Limited Supplies Reach Bakeries Overnight
Published May 22, 2025
GAZA – A handful of bakeries in south and central Gaza, supported by the World Food Programme (WFP), have resumed bread production after dozens of trucks were finally able to collect cargo from the Kerem Shalom border crossing and deliver it overnight.
These bakeries are now operational distributing bread via hot meal kitchens. However, after nearly 80 days of a total blockade of humanitarian assistance, families still face a high risk of famine and far more aid is needed across all of Gaza.
Palestinian Red Crescent says no Palestinians in Gaza have received aid yet
„I can prove that nobody has received (aid). No civilian has received anything yet. In fact, say most of these trucks are still in Karem Shalom at the border, inspected, but not into Gaza,“ Younis Al-Khatib, President of the Palestine Red Crescent Society, told reporters.

Gaza: Aid trucks still waiting for Israeli green light inside enclave
UN aid workers said on Wednesday that they are still waiting for permission from Israel to distribute five trucks’ worth of lifesaving relief that was allowed into Gaza at the start of the week, after an 11-week blockade.
Daily Press Briefing by the Office of the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General
(May 20, 2025)
To give you a sense of how this complicated operation has to work, the Israeli authorities are requiring us to offload supplies on the Palestinian side of Kerem Shalom crossing and reload them separately once they secure our teams’ access from inside the Gaza Strip. Only then are we able to bring any supplies closer to where people in need are sheltering. Today, one of our team waited several hours for Israeli green light to access Kerem Shalom area and collect the nutrition supplies. Unfortunately, they were not able to bring those supplies into our warehouse. So, just to make it clear, while more https://press.un.org/en/2025/db250510.doc.htmsupplies have come into the Gaza Strip, we have not been able to secure the arrival of those supplies into our warehouses and delivery points.
U.N. says no aid has reached Palestinians in Gaza yet
“A few dozen” trucks carrying flour, medicines and nutrition supplies were allowed to pass through the Israeli fence into the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom crossing, United Nations spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said in a briefing Tuesday. But aid workers, he said, were unable to get the aid to warehouses as Israeli officials forced them to wait several hours for access, and then unload and then reload the supplies onto separate trucks. They ran out of time before dark.

Could Israel‘s Unrwa ban lead to its suspension from the UN?
(October 29, 2025)
The laws effectively ban Unrwa from operating inside Israel, Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The ban would amount to a revocation of privileges and immunities enjoyed by UN organisations under the UN Charter.
(…)
The protection is enshrined in the UN Charter and the General Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations.
(…)
“In the face of such an outrage against it, the UN must lose no time in taking action,” he said.
“It should request the International Court of Justice for an urgent advisory opinion, which under the General Convention on the Privileges and Immunities will be binding on Israel and on the United Nations itself.”It should request the International Court of Justice for an urgent advisory
Israel is a rogue nation. It should be removed from the United Nations
(October 15, 2024)
In 1971, socialist and non-aligned nations in the Global South voted in the UN general assembly to recognized the People’s Republic of China as “the only legitimate representative of China to the United Nations” and thereby replaced the representatives from the Republic of China (Taiwan), which had been a founding member of the UN. ROC was out, PRC was in – and it was the general assembly, not the security council, that decided it.
Three years later, relying again not on the UN charter but its own “rules of procedure” as the human rights lawyer and former UN official Saul Takahashi has noted, the UN general assembly “voted to refuse to recognize the credentials of the South African delegation” and “barred South Africa from participation in the Unga” until 1994.
Unseating the Israeli Government from the UN General Assembly in case of non-compliance with the Advisory Opinion of 19 July 2024
(October 15, 2024)
The GA has other tools for discharging its obligations under the AdvOp, including unseating the Israeli government from the GA through the Assembly’s authority to review the credentials of State delegations. A similar measure was taken against apartheid South Africa in 1974 and lasted until the end of apartheid in 1994.

Any government in the world could expel the rogue state of Israel from the United Nations. None does.
(April 27, 2025)
In short: every government of a UN member state could bring in a resolution to the Assembly that, once it is adopted, requests an urgent advisory opinion of the World Court, the International Court of Justice.
And if the World Court decides so, Israel is being kicked out of the United Nations. That‘s it. The Security Council is meaningless on that matter.
So here is the question of questions, to all of you around the world: Although it has been publicly demanded, even promised by various governments – why hasn´t this happened yet?
The EU will hold talks later this month on reviewing ties with Israel as concern mounts over Gaza
(May 8, 2025)
Ties between the EU and Israel — which are major trading partners — are governed by a so-called Association Agreement. It stipulates that their ties “shall be based on respect for human rights and democratic principles.”
The Dutch government has said that it intends to block the agreement pending an EU review into whether the Israel government is complying with the pact, which entered force in 2000. Kallas said the ministers would discuss this on May 20.

HaMoked in habeas corpus petition: surviving paramedic of Israeli attack in Rafah is being held in an unnamed facility and denied access to a lawyer
The amendments to the Unlawful Combatants Law were passed following the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 and currently enable banning a Gaza detainee from meeting with a lawyer for the first 45 days of his detention. During this time, Israeli authorities also refuse to inform family members of the person’s whereabouts. This refusal to provide information on a detainee’s location is contrary to its past practice and to Israel’s legal obligations. A petition against the Law, filed by human rights organizations, including HaMoked, has been pending for over a year now.
Israeli Human Rights Organizations Demand Netanyahu Open Gaza’s Crossings
For nearly two months, Israel has deliberately and openly prevented the entry of any humanitarian aid including food, water, fuel, and medical equipment into the Gaza Strip. For more than a year, four Israeli human rights organizations, Gisha, Physicians for Human Rights, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel and HaMoked: Center for the Defense of the Individual have led a principled legal petition in the High Court, demanding that Israel meet its legal obligations under Israeli and international law to ensure unfettered and immediate aid access to the civilian population in the Gaza Strip.
While the petition was still under deliberation, Israel announced the closure of all crossings into Gaza imposing a complete blockade since March 2. The state did not even claim that this extreme measure was related to military needs but admitted that it was a “political security” decision.
On March 27, the High Court rejected the petition, displaying disregard for the implications of this latest state policy on the fragile humanitarian situation in Gaza. Nearly everything is scarce in the Strip: since March 18, Israel has bombarded continuously via land, air, and sea, causing thousands of deaths and injuries; issued displacement orders that forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee; and as mentioned above, blocked all entry of goods and equipment to the strip for nearly two months.
Last week, the human rights organizations sent an urgent request demanding the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Defense Minister Israel Katz, open Gaza’s crossings immediately and enable consistent and unfettered aid supply and access.
High Court grants Israeli PM Netanyahu extension to submit affidavit about Shin Bet chief‘s dismissal
Legally, submitting an affidavit is equivalent to providing binding testimony in court and, in exceptional cases, can also open the door to cross-examination.
This past Monday, Ronen Bar submitted a sharply critical affidavit to the High Court against the government and Netanyahu. In it, he claimed that the prime minister made „illegal requests“ at the end of work meetings, after asking that recording devices be turned off.

Histadrut coordinated nationwide strike with PM‘s office – coalition member
(March 30, 2023)
The strike on Monday of Israel‘s largest worker‘s union, the Histadrut Labor Federation, was coordinated with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s inner circle, a senior member of the coalition confirmed on Thursday.
According to the report, one of Netanyahu‘s spokespersons, Yonatan Urich, contacted senior Histadrut officials on Monday morning urging them to launch a strike, in order to give the prime minister a decisive reason to announce that he was postponing the legislation, against the wishes of Justice Minister Yariv Levin.
Albanese: Israel’s actions in Palestine constitute genocide, calls for Israel’s suspension from the UN
Albanese went on to clarify that UNRWA cannot disappear because it is a UN body protected by international law. „Member states cannot eliminate it by changing laws or cutting funding, as Israel and other countries have attempted. The rights of Palestinian refugees will remain intact because those rights are codified in international law.“
She also raised the issue of Israel’s violations against the UN, citing the destruction of 70% of UN premises in Gaza and the targeting of UNRWA schools, which had been sheltering refugees. „Israel has violated the UN Charter, and it must be held accountable for its actions. I have called for the suspension of Israel‘s credentials in the UN because of its disregard for international rules and laws. Israel has destroyed or damaged UN premises, targeted shelters, and accused the UN of terrorism.“
Ukrainians must sit down at negotiating table, start talks with President Trump – Vice President Vance
He explained that, in his opinion, the most important thing is not the public statements, such as President Zelenskyy saying he was committed to peace or apologizing to the president. He emphasized that what matters more is what the Ukrainians do to get meaningfully involved in what a peaceful settlement would look like. He stated that they need Ukrainians to come to them privately and say what they need, what they want, and how they will participate in the process of ending the conflict. He concluded that this lack of private participation is what concerns them the most.

Netanyahu testimony likely to take another 9 to 14 months, court told
(February 17, 2025)
To date, Netanyahu has been scheduled to testify three times a week, although that has yet to transpire since he began his testimony on December 10, 2024. And his defense attorneys requested on Monday that the scheduled hearings be pared back to two a week, meaning that the 126 hearings to come would take another 63 weeks to complete.
The trial began in May 2020 and is now rapidly approaching its fifth year. Even after Netanyahu’s testimony ends, his defense team will have a list of other witnesses to call to the stand. If convicted, Netanyahu would be entitled to appeal to the Supreme Court.
High Court gives government another delay for answer on establishing Oct. 7 state commission of inquiry
The High Court of Justice agrees to a request by the government to grant it another 90 days before updating the court as to its position on establishing a state commission of inquiry into the failures leading up to, during and after the October 7, 2023, Hamas invasion and atrocities.
The government must now provide the court with a new update by May 11.
Hamas hands over six hostages but Israel delays release of 600 Palestinians
The delay imposes further strain on the precarious truce, which is at a particularly vulnerable moment, between first and second phases. The first phase is due to end next Saturday, but negotiations on the second phase have yet to begin.
While a majority of Israelis want the release of the remaining hostages to be the government’s priority, there is resistance from the right wing of Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition, which wants the war to resume with the aim of obliterating Hamas.
