GAZA, Palestine – The military wing of the Palestinian Liberation Movement, Hamas has called on the UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Mrs. Pramila Patten to re-evaluate and review her report which accused the resistance forces of committing sexual violence.

Hamas said it called for reevaluation of the report because it believes it was anchored on Israel’s narratives which have been proven baseless and that there is the need to conduct a professional investigation into claims by Israel.

“We also call on Mrs. Pramila Patten, the UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, to re-evaluate and review her report in which she accused the Palestinian resistance of committing sexual violence, after relying on zionist narratives that have been proven baseless, without conducting a professional investigation into those false claims”, Hamas said.

Hamas pointed to “Associated Press” reports which observed Israel’s claim that the Palestinian resistance committed sexual violence on October 7 are not true and were deliberately fabricated.

Hamas described the AP report as nothing but a new slap in the face of those promoting these baseless allegations.

“These claims were used to demonize the resistance and to cover up the humane behavior the resistance displayed towards zionist prisoners during their detention in Gaza.

“This report, like many other reports issued by global media and human rights organizations that have refuted these allegations and proven them to be mere lies and exposed fabrications.

Hamas called on President Biden and other officials in some European countries to apologize and stop repeating these false accusations against the resistance and the Palestinian people.
