Allegations of Sexual Violence During Hamas Attack Spark Protests at UN Headquarters

New York, New York United States of America
Hamas has dismissed these allegations as unfounded lies.
Protests were held at the UN Headquarters in New York, highlighting allegations of sexual assaults during the October 7th Hamas attack in Israel.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and an Israeli women's rights campaigner have called on the UN to denounce Hamas for allegedly using sexual violence as a weapon of war.

Protests have been held outside the United Nations Headquarters in New York, drawing attention to allegations of sexual assaults on women during the October 7th Hamas attack in Israel. These protests were sparked by claims that Hamas, a Palestinian political organization, used sexual violence as a weapon of war.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has called on the United Nations to denounce Hamas as a terrorist organization, citing the alleged use of rape as a weapon of war. This call was echoed by an Israeli women's rights campaigner and lawyer, who claimed that Hamas had a premeditated plan to use sexual violence during the October 7 attacks.

These allegations were examined during a United Nations gathering, hosted by Israel. Eyewitness accounts describe scenes of rape, mutilation, and other atrocities, which have been largely doubted or ignored by the international community. The investigation into these allegations has been challenging due to the lack of physical evidence collected in an active warzone.

However, Hamas has rejected these accusations, dismissing them as unfounded lies and part of Zionist campaigns to demonize the Palestinian resistance. The international community awaits further investigation into these allegations.
