The United Nations has added Israel to a blacklist of nations credibly suspected of engaging in systematic sexual violence. In its annual report documenting sexual violence in conflicts worldwide, the U.N. found Israel’s prisons engaged in systematic torture, rape, sexual humiliation and degrading treatment of detained Palestinians. In response, Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon said Israel would sever ties with U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres and his office.
