United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned Israel about potentially listing the country’s armed forces in an upcoming UN report on sexual violence, according to the spokesperson for Israel’s mission to the UN.

The post UN chief puts Israel ‘on notice’ for sexual violence blacklist; Hamas to be added for first time appeared first on The Times of Israel.

Danny Danon called the claims in the UN letter "outrageous," stating that "Israel rejects the threats and will not accept defamation of its defense and security forces. " The United Nations has warned Israel that it may feature in the next report into perpetrators of sexual violence in conflict if it does not take 'necessary measures' to prevent sexual violence against Palestinian detainees.
