The UN's upcoming report on sexual violence in conflict zones will reportedly include Israeli authorities in a list of entities suspected of abuse against Palestinian detainees. Israeli officials have condemned the decision.

This year's United Nations report on sexual violence in conflict zones will include Israeli authorities in an annex of entities responsible for or suspected of carrying conflict-related sexual violence, Israeli officials confirmed Thursday in comments slamming the decision. Last year's report said it had received "credible information" of sexual violence carried out by security forces in Israeli detention centres.
