The United Nations added Israeli institutions to its blacklist of countries and organizations that engage in sexual violence in conflict zones, lumping Israel with Hamas, ISIS and other terrorist organizations.

The Israel Prison Service has been included, while other entities are being monitored for possible future inclusion.

Pramila Patten, the U.N. secretary-general’s representative on sexual violence in conflict zones, had recently submitted a report showing credible evidence of Hamas’ sexual abuse of victims during the Oct. 7 attack and of Israeli hostages, and two weeks ago, mainstream outlets reported the detailed findings of an Israeli commission’s investigation into Hamas’ sexual violence.

The move comes just two weeks after The New York Times published an explosive opinion column containing unverified claims of horrific sexual abuse that it claimed was widespread and systemic, even as it acknowledged that no Israeli leader had ordered such abuses as a matter of policy.

Israel cooperated with the U.N.’s investigation and submitted evidence that the allegations of systemic abuse of Arabs in Israeli prisons and in conflict zones are false. Despite that, the U.N. went ahead and blacklisted Israel.

Israel claims that the U.N. bowed to pressure to include Israel after adding Hamas to the blacklist.

In response, Israel froze relations with the office of António Guterres, the secretary-general of the U.N., and said it would cut off contact with the office as long as Guterres remains in his post. Israel also canceled Patten’s upcoming visit to Israel.

In a video statement posted online, Israel’s U.N. ambassador, Danny Danon, said that Israel provided the U.N. with documents and data and invited representatives to come to Israel to examine the evidence for themselves. He added that they refused to do so, instead continuing their campaign of lies against the Jewish state.

“We are done with this secretary-general,” he declared.
