Israel’s Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, asked Monday that the United Nations Security Council “put as much pressure as possible” on Palestinian fighters Hamas to return the hostages kidnapped during the October 7 attack on Israel.
“We are asking you to condemn the sexual violence crimes these barbarians committed,” Katz told the Security Council, without to provide any evidence of sexual assault. He also called on the government “to put as much pressure as possible on the Hamas organisation to release immediately and unconditionally all the kidnapped hostages.”
He advocated for sanctions against Hamas, accusing the group of atrocities.
