UN says ‘sexual violence’ likely committed in 7 October Hamas attack on Israel | BBC News

Published

A UN team has concluded there are “reasonable grounds to believe” sexual violence, including rape and gang rape, was committed during the Hamas attacks in Israel on 7 October.

They also said there was “convincing information” that hostages had been subjected to sexual violence.

Hamas has denied its gunmen sexually assaulted women during the attacks, but the UN report said that “conflict-related sexual violence” occurred in at least three locations – including the Nova music festival site.

The UN report also described reports of sexual violence against Palestinians in Israeli custody, including “unwanted touching of intimate areas” and “prolonged forced nudity”.

But, the Israeli foreign ministry rejected these reports, calling them “malicious and baseless claims made against Israel”.

Iceland on track to reject EU referendum as counting nears end | BBC News

Published

on



Iceland has voted against resuming membership talks with the European Union, public broadcaster RUV has reported, with just one constituency’s votes left to count.

It reported that 52.5% of the 188,496 votes so far counted had rejected the government’s proposal, while 47.5% had said yes. Some 9,500 votes separated them.

Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir’s centre-left government promised to hold a referendum by 2027, but brought it forward because of international tensions, including US President Donald Trump’s threats against Greenland.
