UN report details sexual and gender-based violence by Israeli security forces

The UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel, has found that Israeli forces have used sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinians. The report also seeks to explain why these activities have expanded without check. The IDF referred The World to the Israeli prime minister's office for comment, but they did not reply. Chris Sidoti, who led the commission's investigation, explains the contents of the report and how sexual and gender-based violence became a de facto policy.
