Tunisia told the ICJ it believes the conditions allowing the expulsion of a member state for persistent violations have now been met.
“While we are aware that the recommendation of relying on Article 6 of the United Nations Charter falls within the prerogatives of the Security Council, we consider that the conditions for its implementation are met,” said Hanin Ben Jrad, representing Tunisia, regarding Israel’s continuous violations in Gaza and other regions.
Jrad argued that several statements by Israeli officials show an intent to use humanitarian aid to achieve political and military objectives, effectively holding Gaza’s population hostage, while weaponising relief as a “tool of war”.
Tunisia also condemned the systematic targeting of UNRWA facilities since the onset of the conflict.
“Bringing an end to the war will not suffice to make shattered lives whole again or to heal their trauma. The breaches must be reported, as well as the legal consequences stemming from them. Responsibilities must be established.”
