    The United States told the International Court of Justice Wednesday that Israel must provide aid to Gaza, but the country does not have to work with the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees. The top court of the United Nations is holding a week of hearings on what Israel must do to provide desperately needed humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, following a request for an advisory opinion from the U.N. General Assembly last year. The U.S. said Israel had legitimate concerns about the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, also known as UNRWA, the largest provider...

The change in position underscores the hardened perspective toward the agency under the Trump administration following allegations by Israel that some...

At the recent UN Commission on the Status of Women, forty-five member states agreed that the UN Security Council should “consider nominating women as candidates.” The final candidate must then be approved by the General Assembly.
