Israel is obstructing a UN investigation into alleged sexual violence committed during the Hamas-led 7 October attacks, according to a report by Haaretz.

The request, which was rejected by Israel, would have allowed the UN access into Israeli prisons to conduct investigations into the treatment of Palestinians held there.

Torture, rape and murder have all been reported as rife at the facility, one of several prisons where Palestinians have been mistreated for decades.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir confirmed that conditions inside Israeli prisons “have indeed worsened” since the war on Gaza began, adding: "I am proud of that.”

    Ironically the UN created Israel, after zionists had been conducting terrorists acts in the region for decades. The UN knew and did it anyway.

      Well, the UN is not some closed institution. It is the working of its member states and while UN institutions are often far further on matters of lawfulness and basic ethics, they only have limited power to enact.

      The UN back then was composed very differently and if it wasnt for the US now, the UN would handle the zionist state very differently
