In addition to the attacks carried out on the day of the invasion, Patten believes that inhumane acts are still taking place against the hostages under the control of the terrorist group and its allies. Hamas has repeatedly denied committing such a crime. “There are reasonable grounds to believe that conflictrelated sexual violence occurred in several locations along the Gaza periphery during the October 7 attacks, including rape and gang rape in at least three locations,” says Patten, who also reports, That some of the bodies the team saw were naked or partially naked from the waist down and had their hands tied, which they said was a pattern that could indicate certain forms of sexual violence.
In light of the revelation of this information, Israel summoned the country's ambassador to the United Nations for consultations, claiming the body had attempted to “silence” a report of sexual violence during the attack by the Islamic group Hamas. “I have ordered our UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan to return to Israel for immediate consultations on the attempt to silence the serious UN report on the visible massive attacks by Hamas and its collaborators on October 7th,” the chancellor wrote in his report social network X (formerly Twitter).
“The UN SecretaryGeneral (António Guterres), in view of the conclusions (of the report), did not convene the Security Council to declare Hamas a terrorist organization and impose assessments on its supporters,” he added. In a separate message, Katz called on Guterres to recognize Hamas “as a terrorist entity worldwide and to label the nations that support it as sponsors of terrorism.” In a statement, Israel's Foreign Ministry expressed its “satisfaction that a UN official has explicitly acknowledged Hamas's perpetration of sexual crimes,” stressing that this is the first time this has happened.
