<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Palestine will not stop its pursuit of justice at international courts despite political pressure or the threat of sanctions, <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestinian</a> ambassador Ammar Hijazi told Middle East Eye on Wednesday.</p>
<p>His comments follow a ruling by the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/icj-rules-israel-ban-unrwa-aid-blockade" target="_blank">International Court of Justice</a> (ICJ) on <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israel</a>’s humanitarian obligations, specifically to end its blockade of aid entering Gaza.</p>
<p>“So long as this occupation exists on our land, the Palestinian leadership and government will not take one step back from fighting for Palestinian rights at the international level,” Hijazi said outside the court.</p>
<p>“This is a rightful, peaceful, legal and moral path that we must take, and we will continue until our people are free and our independence is realised,” he added.</p>
