Israel’s UN ambassador slams report on military’s gender-based violence

Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, has penned an opinion piece in opposition to an independent UN commission report documenting disproportionate violence against Palestinian women by Israeli troops throughout the Gaza conflict, Al Jazeera reports.

In a piece published by The Jerusalem Post, Danon called the UN Human Rights Council “not a serious institution” and an “incubator for Jew hatred”.

Critics have regularly accused Israel’s officials of claiming anti-Semitism to silence criticism of its military actions.
