At UN, Palestinian ambassador castigates Israel, denounces sexual violence
Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief
Palestinian Ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour repeatedly castigates Israel throughout his speech at a Security Council session on sexual violence perpetrated on and after October 7. However, he condemns sexual violence against civilians in general.
“We once again reiterate that nothing can justify violence targeting civilians, including sexual violence — one of the most abhorrent forms of violence,” Mansour says.
He also bemoans the fact that the UN has never held a similar session on allegations of Israeli sexual violence against Palestinians.
