(Worthy News) – Israel has rejected a United Nations report released Thursday, in which UN experts accused it of committing “genocidal acts” against Palestinians by systematically destroying women’s healthcare facilities and using sexual violence as a war strategy during the Gaza conflict.
A UN commission report accused Israeli forces of deliberately targeting Gaza’s main fertility center, restricting women’s access to essential medical care for pregnancy and childbirth, and employing forced public stripping and sexual violence against Palestinian detainees—actions it says amount to genocidal attempts to destroy Palestinians’ reproductive capacity.
Israel’s mission to the UN in Geneva forcefully rejected the report as politically motivated, asserting that Israeli military directives explicitly forbid such misconduct. It emphasized that the Israel Defense Forces maintain strict policies against these acts and that their internal review mechanisms comply fully with international standards.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed the UN Human Rights Council as an “antisemitic, corrupt, irrelevant organization that supports terrorism,” emphasizing Israel’s deliberate withdrawal from the body.
“Instead of focusing on the crimes against humanity and the war crimes that were perpetrated by the Hamas terrorist organization in the worst massacre carried out against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, the UN has again chosen to attack the state of Israel with false accusations, including baseless accusations of sexual violence”, Netanyahu said a released statement. “This is not a human rights council; it is a blood rights council.”
U.S. Permanent Representative to the UN Elise Stefanik agreed with Netanyahu, calling the report baseless and labeling it “antisemitic and anti-Israel slander.”
She stated on X that the council failed to condemn the “barbaric atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists against Israel including the brutal slaughter, torture, kidnapping of thousands of innocent civilians, and Hamas’ horrific use of rape and sexual violence against Israeli women and girls, yet disgracefully attacks Israel with unfounded smears.”
Stefanik concluded, “This report exposes the disgraceful and obsessive antisemitism of UNHRC and reaffirms why President Trump took the strong, correct decisive executive action to withdraw from it.”
