Over 60 Jewish groups are urging the UN to declare Hamas's use of sexual violence a crime against humanity. The organizations are calling for swift action to hold Hamas accountable and establish an international protocol for responding to conflict-related sexual violence. They argue that there is overwhelming evidence of Hamas's weaponization of rape, and the UN should add Hamas to the list of parties responsible for patterns of sexual violence in armed conflict. The Jewish leaders emphasize the importance of holding perpetrators accountable to deter future use of sexual violence as a weapon of war.
