UN Adds Israeli Entities to Blacklist of Countries that Commit Sexual Violence
- The United Nations is expected to add the Israel Prison Service to its blacklist of parties accused of sexual violence, placing Israel alongside Hamas and other terror organizations.
- Secretary General Antonio Guterres placed Israel "on notice" in August 2025 citing "significant concerns," though Israeli officials argue the move reflects political pressure after they provided detailed responses to allegations.
- The move follows a controversial New York Times op-ed by Nicholas Kristof alleging abuse patterns, which The Foreign Ministry denounced as "one of the worst blood libels ever to appear in the modern press."
- Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon condemned the decision as a "moral disgrace," announcing Israel will freeze relations with Secretary General Guterres's office until a "professional and fair" successor takes office.
- Officials contrasted the UN's stance with the Civil Commission's "Silenced No More" report on Hamas atrocities, arguing that comparing the two parties is "highly offensive and misleading.
