"Hamas' Sexual Violence Exposed: Calls for U.N. Investigation and Global Accountability"

A presentation at the United Nations organized by Sheryl Sandberg and Israel's ambassador accused the UN of ignoring reports of rape and mutilation of women during the Hamas-led assault on Israel on October 7. Witnesses provided gruesome details of the sexual violence, including testimonies from volunteers who collected the remains of victims. Israeli officials claim that the sexual violence committed by Hamas has received little scrutiny from human rights groups and the media. The United Nations' women's rights agency, UN Women, had not specifically mentioned or condemned these atrocities until recently. The event at the UN aimed to lay out evidence of large-scale sexual violence, with calls for a full investigation and accountability for the perpetrators.
