Israeli Foreign Ministry Israel Katz published a post on X on Wednesday, calling on female leaders worldwide to voice their disapprobation following the findings of the UN report on sexual violence committed by Hamas terrorists. 

The post appealed to “Distinguished women leaders,” stating that “following the publication of the UN report on sexual violence committed by the Hamas terror organization, it is critical to hear your voice as international women leaders in order to put an end to the atrocities that Israeli women are going through in the captivity of the Hamas."

The report was published earlier this week by Pramila Patten, UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, following her visit to Israel in the two first weeks of February, in which she met with eyewitnesses of the October 7 massacre, women who returned from Gaza captivity, family members of soldiers still in Gaza, and workers at the Shura camp who identified the bodies of those raped and murdered by Hamas terrorists.

The report found evidence of Hamas crimes, including sexually torturing and raping Israeli women.
