The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is facing intense backlash from Israel over its report accusing Israel of employing sexual violence against Palestinians since October 2023. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the UNHRC 'an antisemitic, corrupt, terrorist-supporting and irrelevant body.' Multiple Israeli officials said the report constituted a 'blood libel' and said it ignored the acts of sexual violence on Oct. 7. US Ambassador Designate to the United Nations Elise Stefanik also condemned the 'baseless report' as 'antisemitic and anti-Israel slander.'
