Foreign Minister Israel Katz calls out past and present female leaders and ministers, asking them to speak out in the wake of the UN report accusing Hamas of sexual violence on October 7 and beyond.
Turning to “distinguished women leaders,” Katz says on X that “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.”
He tags US Vice President Kamala Harris, Italy’s PM Giorgia Meloni, Germany’s FM Annalena Baerbock, former US first lady Michelle Obama, past US secretary of state Hillary Clinton, and the leaders of Iceland, Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, Serbia, Estonia, Georgia, Honduras, Latvia, Lithuania, and more.
Katz includes an image of 19-year-old Naama Levy, a hostage who was filmed being dragged into a jeep with the seat of her pants soaked in blood.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
