The wife of the country's president, Michal Herzog, met today (Thursday) with UCLA faculty and students, who came on a solidarity visit to Israel, and talked about the acts of rape committed by Hamas terrorists.
In their conversation, the President's wife referred to the report of the Association of Assistance Centers for Victims of Sexual Abuse in Israel (ARCCI), which gathered evidence of the acts of rape and sexual assault by Hamas on the morning of October 7.
"We, Israeli women, Jewish women, felt betrayed by the deafening silence of human rights organizations and women's rights organizations around the world," said Michal Herzog in their conversation.
"They did not respond or refer to the horrors of October 7 in any way or framework. We were always asked - where is the proof, show us evidence. This is despite the fact that we know that first and foremost the victims and survivors must always be believed. Moreover, there are many testimonies: this was a series of events that were photographed and recorded in a way Shocking. The atrocities were presented to the whole world and their perpetrators bragged about them."
"We, Jewish women, felt betrayed by the deafening silence of the world."

It is a report that the whole world should read, so that organizations like UN Women will understand what really happened. I hope that with the backing of such reports and testimonies from men and women Full of courage - the world will finally understand what happened there."
