SHORT VIDEO: UN announces Israeli entities on UN blacklist for sexual violence in conflict zones
The UN confirmed that Israeli entities including the Israeli army have been added to the United Nations blacklist for sexual violence in conflict zones in a briefing on Friday.
The news was first reported by the Jerusalem Post on Thursday with the Israeli ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, saying the decision was “political” and “detached from the facts and from reality”. The Jerusalem Post also reported that Israel has frozen relations with the office of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
The Israeli Prison Service is included in the list, with other entities being monitored for possible future inclusion.
It's about bloody time.
