Reem Alsalem, the UN special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, says adding Israel to the blacklist for sexual violence is “long overdue”, Al Jazeera reports.
“This listing could not have come soon enough,” Alsalem writes on X. “I had in the past expressed my disappointment that Israel was not listed already, given the systematic, large-scale and horrific sexual violence perpetrated by Israel against Palestinian women, men and children that have been independently documented and verified.”
