Settlements and National Missions Minister Orit Strock called the International Court of Justice in The Hague an "absurd antisemitic theater" and said that it "shakes the hand of the Palestinian Authority" in an interview with Israeli news outlet Kan 11.

Strock said that since Auschwitz, no venture has been created like that of Gaza under Hamas' control, where hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested in the goal of destroying the Jewish people.

Strock added that "they have judges sitting [in robes] and discussing whether we are allowed to destroy the genocide mechanism that was built for us."

Israel's High Court scheduled an urgent hearing on the petition submitted by human rights organizations demanding that the Sde Teiman detention facility for Gazans be closed.

The hearing will take place next Wednesday with the participation of judges Uzi Vogelman, Daphne Barak-Erez and Ofer Grosskopf. 

The state has yet to submit its response to the petition, and the High Court has allowed it to do so until the day before the hearing.

After the Kerem Shalom border crossing opened Sunday morning, Hamas said that the amount of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip is completely insufficient and there is a fear of hunger spreading.

According to Hamas, the amount of incoming fuel will not be enough to operate any of Gaza's hospitals, and Israel's plan to open another border crossing point to north Gaza – as well as a crossing to Beit Hanoun in northeast Gaza – will not meet the aid needs.
