Israel stands accused of committing genocide in Gaza. To Israelis, the charge is a perversion of history. But for Palestinians it creates a fleeting sense of historic justice.
The official accepted Israel’s invitation and is expected to go there soon, the foreign ministry said. Hamas has denied that its fighters committed sex crimes during the Oct. 7 attacks.
The experts’ statement came after the United Nations had been the focus of months of frustrated accusations that it was ignoring the rape and mutilation of women during the Oct. 7 attacks.
