of gaza, southern city of rafa, looms larger, international warnings of its consequences grow louder and more ominous, and now the... un chief says any such offensive will completely end the un's assistance programs in the besieged enclave. rafa is the core of the humanitarian aid operation and unrua is the backbone of that effort, and all of all out the israeli offensive on the city would not only be terrifying for more than million palestinian civilians sheltering there, it would put the final nail in the coffin. of our eighth programs, speaking for the un human rights council in geneva, guiterror said, even now humanitarian aid in gaza is completely insufficient, he had international humanitarian law remains under attack in gaza, and he repeated his call for sease far.

un chief said the catastrophic situation also shows the ineffectiveness of the security council and underlines the need for serious reform. witer stressed council's lack of unity on israel's ensaught in gaza has in his words severely or perhaps fatally undermined its authority. the top un court has wrapped up public hearings on israel's decades long occupation of palestine. most participain nations and organizations have strongly condemned the brutal policies and practices carried out by israel regime and occupied palestinian territories for over five decades. max jibili reports from the hag. on monday, the hague based the international court of justice heard the final day of submissions on the legal consequences of the

israeli occupation of the palestinian territories since 1967, over the sixth days the public hearings, 52 nations and the organization of islamic cooperation. the arab league and african union presented their arguments to the court, the first to speak on the final day of the icj hearings was the turkish representative who joined a large number of nations condemning israel's decades long brutal policies in the palestinian territories. ankara pointed the finger at those nations which won't stop supporting tel aviv despite 30,000 innocent people have been killed in the gaza strip. those who should it are are. know the israeli supporters in the security council, it is their responsibility, indeed, most of the international community is against, is aware of this injustice and is trying to do something. palestinian

representatives opened the proceedings on monday last week by accusing israel of having subjected palestinians to decades of discrimination, leaving them with the choice of displacement, subjugation or the... two days later, the uk asked the court not to offer an opinion at all on the legal consequences of israel's occupation. unfortunately the uk came with the political arguments and here we are in a legal body, unfortunately their legal argument was very weak and we believe that the court will dismiss it. the israeli practices and measures and its presence in the ubad palestinian territory is unlawful and unlawfulness should have consequences. this icj case was prompted by the un. general assembly in december 2022 and it is different from another icj case filed by south africa which has accused israel of genocide in gaza outside the court, activists showed the support to besieged palestinians during all days of proceedings. there's also not an

excuse for the other countries to say, well we are not complying with this um legal system that we uh all agreed upon. i'm here to to just show the support. to uh to say to the whole world that the genocide should stop and this is the only way actually to to uh to support our people in in palestine and gaza. the court is expected to issue its advisory opinion on israel's occupation of the palestinian territories within six months. despite having no binding force, the court's opinions nevertheless carry great legal weight and moral authority. however, it must be said the icj has no enforcement arm. max chivi, press tv, the hague. a us service member has set himself on fire outside the israeli embassy in the us capital in protest against 143 days of the israeli regime's genocide in gaza, of your discretion is
