TL;DR Summary

Israel is pressing the United Nations to investigate allegations of sexual violence committed by Hamas fighters during the October 7 attacks. Israeli officials have presented evidence, including witness accounts and testimonies, of rape and other sexual assaults. They have accused international organizations, including the United Nations, of being slow to acknowledge and condemn the violence. The UN has defended itself and called for investigations into the allegations. Hamas denies the accusations. Israel also suggests that the issue of sexual assault is why some hostages are still in captivity.
