Israel 'added to UN blacklist' for sexual violence in conflict zones Israel  has been added to the United Nations’ blacklist for sexual violence in conflict zones, the country’s ambassador to the UN said on Thursday. Danny Danon  condemned  the decision as “political” and “detached from the facts and from reality”. The move follows multiple reports by human rights organisations and media outlets - including Middle East Eye - documenting allegations of rape and other forms of sexual violence by Israeli forces against  Palestinians  since October 2023.
