Israel Says UN Chief Warned It Could Be Listed in Upcoming Sexual Violence Report

In an unusual letter on Monday, Guterres warned Israel’s UN ambassador that armed forces could be listed in the next report due to documented sexual violence patterns.
The United Nations commission reported credible information of violations by Israel against Palestinians, but access denial hindered definitive assessment, Guterres warned.
In his letter, Guterres mandates clear command instructions, enforcement and punishment mechanisms, investigations into credible complaints, and unrestricted UN access for monitoring and aid.
In response Tuesday, Danon called the warning 'baseless accusations' steeped in biased publications and urged the UN to focus on Hamas’s war crimes and hostage release.
Guterres indicated the 2025 report will assess whether Israel implemented the required measures and determine inclusion, amid the diplomatic clash over allegations of sexual violence.
