Senators Urge UN to Probe Hamas Sexual Violence

Bipartisan group of 33 Senators calls for independent investigation, citing bias in UN commission of inquiry.

A bipartisan group of 33 Senators is calling for an independent investigation into sexual violence used as a weapon of war by Hamas.
The Senators have written a letter to United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, urging him to collect testimonies and evidence.
The group accuses the UN commission of inquiry of bias and unfairly singling out Israel, undermining the credibility of any investigation.
Israeli police have gathered over 1,500 testimonies and forensic evidence of sexual violence during Hamas's initial attack on Israel.
Despite Hamas's denial of the accusations, the Senators insist on the necessity of an independent investigation to hold perpetrators accountable and provide justice for victims.
