LIVE: UN inquiry on sexual violence committed in Occupied Palestinian Territory

From Reuters.

Navi Pillay, the chair of the Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel, will brief media after holding public hearings from 11 to 12 March 2025 to gather testimony from victims of sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence committed by the Israeli Security Forces and Israeli settlers.

Israel carried out ‘genocidal acts’ against Palestinians by systematically destroying women’s healthcare facilities during the conflict in Gaza, and used sexual violence as a war strategy, United Nations experts said in a new report.
