UN Secretary-General António Guterres threatened to escalate the dispute by referring Israel to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, according to Shehab Wire, citing Hebrew newspaper Israel Hayom. The warning came as tensions mounted between the United Nations and Israeli authorities over operations targeting UNRWA facilities.
The threat followed an Israeli raid on UNRWA premises in the Qalandia camp, marking a sharp escalation in the dispute over the agency's operations and access to installations serving Palestinian refugees. Guterres' move signals potential legal action against Israeli actions affecting the UN relief organization's work across Palestinian territories.
