The Gaza ceasefire deal remains fragile.

  Global aid agency the Norwegian Refugee Council said humanitarian efforts in Gaza remained in an “emergency crisis setting”. Communications adviser Shaina Low said more aid had been able to enter the territory since the ceasefire but that there were still “delays in screening certain types of material”.

  The International Criminal Court (ICC) accused the US president of trying to infringe “independent and fair judicial work” and denounced Trump's executive order, announcing sanctions against the court. “The court has pledged to continue to provide justice and hope to millions of innocent victims around the world, and to continue to hope.”

  The UK is “no plan” to impose similar sanctions and “supports the ICC independence,” a spokesman for Prime Minister Kiel said. The UK and the US “have different views on the ICC beyond many administrations,” they added.

  France, Germany and the Netherlands all opposed sanctions. Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schuf, as a court host, said the Netherlands “is always responsible for ensuring the unobstructed function of the criminal court.” We will continue to do that. ”

  The United Nations also urged Trump to criticize the sanctions. “We deeply regret the individual sanctions announced yesterday against court officials and call for this measure to be reversed,” said Rabina Shamdasani, spokesman for the Department of Human Rights. Trump's order said the court was “engaged in illegal and unfounded actions targeting Israel, which has come into contact with America,” and “specific and serious consequences for those responsible for ICC crimes.” I will impose that.”
