A UN session is underway now at the United Nations headquarters in New York on the sexual violence committed against Israelis by Hamas terrorists.

The session is led by Israel’s Permanent Mission to the UN, and will include testimony from women’s rights experts as well as first responders who were at the scene of the Hamas atrocities on October 7.

Former Facebook CEO Sheryl Sandberg also addresses the session, saying silence on the issue is “dangerous. It threatens to undo decades of progress, to undo an entire movement. The world has to decide who to believe, do we believe the Hamas spokesperson… or do we believe the women?”
