Israel announced on Monday that it was recalling its ambassador to the United Nations for consultations, accusing the United Nations of being passive in the face of Hamas. Israel is criticizing alleged attempts by the UN to silence a report on sexual violence committed by Hamas, Reuters reports, citing News.ro.

“I have ordered our ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, to return to Israel for immediate consultations regarding the attempt to silence the serious UN report on the mass rapes committed by Hamas on October 7,” said Israel’s Foreign Minister Katz.

He criticized UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for not convening the Security Council to discuss the findings and for failing to recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization.

The United Nations declined to comment. The UN Special Envoy on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Pramila Patten, was due to release the report on Monday.

In a separate statement, Ambassador Gilad Erdan said: “It took five months for the UN to finally acknowledge the shocking sex crimes committed in the October 7 Hamas attack. Now that the report on the sexual abuse and sexual abuse of our hostages in Gaza is ready, the shameful silence of the UN, which does not even discuss the subject, is egregious,” he said.
