The latest United Nations report on sexual violence in conflict zones has notably included Israeli and Russian armed forces for the first time. The report, published ahead of its annual release, cites Israeli forces for sexual violence against Palestinian detainees, with documented cases indicating a rise in such incidents in 2025. Similarly, Russian armed forces were added to the list for their treatment of prisoners of war and civilians during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The report details severe allegations against both nations, including instances of rape and torture. Israeli officials have vehemently denied the accusations, labeling them as part of the UN's bias against Israel, while Russian representatives have also rejected the claims, asserting they are preparing their own report on Ukrainian treatment of Russian detainees. The report underscores a troubling increase in documented cases of sexual violence in conflict settings, with the UN confirming 310 instances in Russian-occupied Ukraine and detailing specific violations against Palestinians.
