Reuters reported that Norway will submit a draft resolution to the United Nations to request an opinion from the International Court of Justice on Israel's compliance with international law after it banned the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
"We hope to put the draft resolution to a vote in the coming weeks, and it is likely to be adopted," Reuters quoted the Norwegian foreign minister as saying.
Reuters said the question that will be asked before the court is: "Is Israel violating international law by preventing humanitarian aid to the Palestinians?"
She pointed out that the court's opinion would be advisory and non-binding, but would carry legal and political significance regarding the Israeli move.
