Israel denounced the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) after compiling a report that falsely claimed that Israel had tried to harm Palestine fertility during the recent war in Gaza and used sexual violence against Palestinians.
The report is a reversal of previous actual findings confirmed by the United Nations a year ago, with Palestinian terrorists using sexual violence against Israeli women and men on October 7, 2023.
Officially, the report by the United Nations COI (Independent International Committee on Independent Searching on Occupied Palestinian Territories) comes from the HRC. This includes many dictatorial governments with no concern about the human rights of their citizens, and are obsessed with attacking Israel.
According to the report, “Israel is increasingly adopting sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence against Palestinians as part of a broader effort to undermine the right to genocide through the systematic destruction of sexual and reproductive health facilities.”
In its claims, the report accused Israel of deliberately destroying “reproductive care facilities” during the war in Gaza, and repeated conspiracy theories that circulated online during the conflict.
Israeli Prime Minister Benamin Netanyahu rejected the report and issued a statement (translated from Hebrew by government news outlets):
The anti-Israel Circus, known as the UN “Human Rights Council,” has long been revealed as an anti-Semitic, corrupt, unrelated organization supporting terrorism. For good reason, Israel decided to stop it about a month ago.
Rather than focusing on crimes against humanity and war crimes committed by Hamas terrorist groups in the worst massacres committed against Jews since the Holocaust, the United Nations has once again chosen to attack the Israeli state with false accusations, including baseless accusations of sexual violence.
Israel's Foreign Ministry called the report “one of the worst cases of addiction the world has ever seen.”
The term “blood honorable libel” refers to a medieval custom that falsely accuses Jews of murdering Christian children for ritual purposes.
Anne Herzberg, legal counsel for NGO Monitor and representative of the United Nations, commented:
This latest report reveals the Committee on Inquiry Committee on Israel as the main vector of atrocities and inversions. Since October 7, the COI has outrageously accused Israel of committing crimes against humanity in Gaza, refusing to say the same thing about Hamas. It also downplayed the massive amount of sexual violence committed against Israeli women and girls on October 7th, but has now published an entire report dedicated to slandering the IDF with false claims to commit systemic gender-based violence against Palestinians. Additionally, COI is doing zero advocacy to release hostages, but this week they held an additional two-day anti-Israel propaganda hearing. We hope that the new US administration will cut all funding to UN agencies responsible for providing millions of dollars for this terrible panel, and that every nation of conscience will follow suit quickly.
President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the HRC both in his first term and in his second first day. President Joe Biden has rejoined the HRC on the debate that American engagements could help reform it.
update: David Menser, spokesman for the Israeli government Commenting on the report, he said “chatspa” was needed and that the UN was “crowded” because Israel falsely condemned what the Palestinians actually did to Israel.
He said the HRC report examined President Trump's decision to withdraw from its agency, just like Israel. “A merely another body to hide crimes against the Jews and become Hamas defenders, like Unrwa.”
