# A US official has told the International Court of Justice there were “serious concerns” about the impartiality of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. ICJ judges are holding a week of hearings to help them formulate an advisory opinion on Israel’s obligations towards UN agencies delivering aid to Palestinians in Gaza. Around 40 nations, including South Africa, and organisations such as the League of Arab States are taking part. Israel is not participating, but has dismissed the hearings as “part of the systematic persecution and delegitimisation” of the country.
