Hamas calls for int’l probe into exposure of Palestinian women to Israeli crimes

Tuesday-20-February-2024

The Hamas Movement has called for launching an international investigation into the crimes that were committed by Israeli forces against Palestinian citizens, especially the gross human rights violations against women and girls in the Gaza Strip. “The statement that was released by a galaxy of UN experts, which documented serious human rights violations against Palestinian women and girls, particularly in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, confirms and proves further the crime of genocide and ethnic cleansing that are being committed by the occupation regime led by war criminal Netanyahu and its Nazi army against our Palestinian people,” Hamas said in a statement on Tuesday. “What the experts said about the exposure of Palestinian women to different violations by the occupation army, such as executions, arbitrary arrests, severe beatings and deprivation of food and medicine during detention, in addition to threats of rape and insults during interrogation, entail international investigational action against this rogue entity to hold it and its leaders accountable for their brutal crimes,” Hamas added. In a recent statement, UN experts have expressed their concern over reports of gross human rights violations, including sexual assaults and executions, committed by the Israeli army against Palestinian women and girls in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank since Israel launched its war on Gaza on October 7, 2023.
