A Palestinian diplomat has told the United Nations’ top court that Israel is killing and displacing civilians and targeting aid workers in Gaza in a case that Israel criticized as part of its “systematic persecution and delegitimization.

The United Nations criticized Israel for its ban on aid in hearings at the International Court of Justice. Israel did not send a legal delegation and rejected the proceedings as biased.

The head of Israel’s internal security service says he will resign in June over the failure of his agency to warn of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attacks.

Embattled Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar says he will step down on June 15, nearly three months after Israel’s government voted for the first time ever to dismiss the head of the security agency.

Intent on firing the Shin Bet chief, Ronen Bar, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced him in a sharp affidavit, deepening national political divisions.
