“Additionally, in an independent investigative report released on June 12, a UN-mandated inquiry concluded that mass sexual abuse carried out by Israeli military personnel was “either ordered or condoned,” implicating Israel’s chain of command. The report found that Israeli forces “systematically targeted and subjected Palestinians to SGBV [Sexual and Gender-Based Violence] online and in person since October 7, including forced public nudity, forced public stripping, sexualized torture and abuse, and sexual humiliation and harassment.”
However, sexual violence against Palestinians didn’t begin on October 7; it dates back to the creation of the State of Israel.”
