ALBAWABA- The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued a stern warning to Israel, emphasizing the imperative need for concrete efforts to deliver essential supplies, including food and medicine, to civilians in conflict zones.

 Expressing deep concern, the Prosecutor underscored that even in times of war, there is no blank check for actions that neglect the well-being of innocent civilians.

The statement comes amid escalating tensions, with the ICC urging Israel to prioritize the humanitarian needs of the affected population. 

The Prosecutor's warning highlights the potential legal repercussions for Israel if tangible steps are not taken to address the pressing humanitarian situation.

Of particular concern is the notable increase in settler attacks in the West Bank, prompting the ICC to address the issue.

The international community closely watches developments, emphasizing the significance of upholding humanitarian principles during times of conflict.

The ICC Prosecutor's message serves as a reminder of the global commitment to safeguarding the rights and welfare of civilians, irrespective of the challenges posed by the ongoing conflict.
