Amnesty urges action to protect Palestinians after UN report
Amnesty International calls on the international community to take “urgent action” to protect Palestinians in light of the UN report that documented that Israel has systematically used sexual and reproductive violence against them.
“These damning findings are another clear illustration of the devastating impact of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its use of gender-based violence to oppress Palestinian women and girls across the Occupied Palestinian Territory and to use sexual violence to perpetuate oppression on Palestinians of all genders, especially in Israeli detention centers,” Lauren Aarons, Amnesty’s senior adviser on gender, conflict and international justice, said in a statement.
“The report exposes yet again the horrors of Israeli atrocity crimes in Gaza, and how they specifically impact women.”

J Street, an advocacy group that describes itself as pro-Israel and pro-peace, slams the Israeli government for blocking humanitarian assistance from entering Gaza.
“The Netanyahu government’s decision to cut off aid and electricity to Gaza could soon plunge desperate Palestinian families back into the throes of hunger and disease,” the group said in a social media post.
“This does nothing to secure the hostages’ freedom nor disempower Hamas.”
