Harris aide expresses alarm over reports of sexual abuse against Palestinian detainees

Vice President Kamala Harris’s national security adviser says he is troubled by reports of sexual abuse against Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.

The allegations “require swift and credible investigation. Perpetrators of sexual violence everywhere must be held to account,” Phil Gordon writes on X.

As @VP has said, sexual violence anywhere is entirely unacceptable. Reports of abuse in Israeli prisons are deeply troubling and require swift and credible investigation. Perpetrators of sexual violence everywhere must be held to account. https://t.co/PQnRjnHGyY
