The Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed that the PM and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar have instructed the initiation of a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times. In his opinion piece, Nicholas Kristof argued that while Israeli leaders may not explicitly order rape, the country's security apparatus has fostered an environment where sexual violence is a key component of Palestinian mistreatment.
He also claimed that Netanyahu labelled reports of sexual violence as 'baseless', similar to how Hamas dismissed claims of rape during the October 7 attacks. Several prominent figures have spoken out against the column, accusing the publication of 'acting like a Hamas mouthpiece' and spreading 'absurd claims' that Israel uses dogs to rape Palestinians
