Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, held a special event on Sunday at the United Nations in New York City to expose the horrors and shocking acts of sexual violence committed by Hamas terrorists against Israeli women in the October 7th massacre and to demand the clear condemnation and recognition of the UN and the international community. In the event that took place against the background of the disgraceful silence of the UN, findings were presented proving the cases of rape and sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas.

The special event was held with the participation of hundreds of ambassadors, senior UN officials and women’s organizations to expose the acts of rape and sexual crimes committed by Hamas.  “Two months after the massacre and the rape, the UN remembered to propose an investigation? And another anti-Semitic body?? The only investigation that should take place is against the shocking silence and indifference of the UN in the face of the rape and crimes of sexual violence committed against Israeli women, “ said Ambassador Erdan.

At the event, Ambassador Erdan and Sheryl Sandberg, the former chief operating officer of Facebook delivered remarks along with the presentation of a recorded speech by the former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.

Members of medical teams, police and lawyers also addressed those at the event and described findings of the devastating atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists against women.

Ambassador Erdan said, “On the seventh of October, Hamas committed acts of rape and sexual violence against Israeli women and girls. They then walked with their naked bodies through the streets of Gaza while the crowd cheered. These were not spur-of-the-moment decisions at the scene of the massacre. The sex crimes were carefully planned in advance! The Nazi Hamas terrorists were explicitly and in advance told to carry out these evil deeds, in order to terrorize us and our families and make us afraid to live in Israel – this is the enemy we are facing, an enemy that sees rape and sexual violence as a legitimate tool in its war to destroy Israel.”

The ambassador attacked the UN and the UN Women’s Organization: “The international bodies that are supposed to protect women in the world have proven that when it pertains to Israeli women – they are indifferent. In the eyes of these organizations – Israeli women are not women and rape of Israeli women is not rape. Their silence is deafening! Last month I sent UN WOMEN two letters with photographic evidence of Hamas crimes against women and both were completely ignored. Only two days ago, almost two months after the massacre, UNWOMEN suddenly remembered to address sexual crimes in a shameful way, but it is too little and too late.”

He added, “Instead of immediately supporting the victims, UNWOMEN brazenly proposed to ‘investigate the sexual violence of Hamas through an anti-Semitic and biased organization.’ The ambassador clarified: “The only investigation that really must be carried out is an investigation of UNWOMEN’s indifferent silence to the heinous crimes committed by Hamas against Israeli women.”

Ambassador Erdan also stated: “If the UN chooses to remain silent in the face of evil, it does not mean that the world will follow suit.” The world will know the truth! We will make sure to play it everywhere. The stories of the women of Israel will not be silenced!’
