The ongoing conflict in Gaza has sparked intense international scrutiny, with serious allegations
leveled against Israel regarding its treatment of Palestinian civilians. Among the most grave

international legal bodies. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) as well as the International

Pramila Patten, a senior UN official, came to Israel a month ago with a mandate to gather information on claims that Hamas terrorists had committed rape and other acts of sexual violence against Israeli women and men on October 7th. Her trip came after months of conspicuous silence on the matter from UN Women, and appalling statements from other UN officials that amounted to gaslighting and atrocity denial.
JIJ’s team of human rights lawyers and researchers met with Patten's team on February 8th. We presented detailed testimony and gruesome photographs taken by first responders who had handled the bodies of the October 7th victims.
