We have obtained a copy of this report and it has been shared with the Security Council as well by the Secretary General's office, I'm told.

It says that in general, the cases of conflict-related sexual violence went up significantly last year in 2025 as compared to 2024.

And as you were saying just now, Israeli and Russian security forces have been added to this blacklist on sexual violence and conflict in Israel.

Particularly, they say they have documented patterns of sexual violence against Palestinians detained in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.

They say they documented cases against 14 men detained.

seven women, nine boys and one girl from Gaza and the West Bank.

These violations consisted of rape, gang rape and violence to genitals, among others.

But it's important to note that the UN says that these cases are indicative of a multi-year trend rather than a comprehensive report, since they say that the Israeli government denies them access to detention centres.

In response, the Israeli ambassador to the UN denounced this report.

He called it unacceptable.

He said that it was unacceptable to put Israel and Hamas terrorists, as he called them, on the same list.

We haven't seen any formal reaction from Russia yet.

But again, this report highlights sexual violence in the occupied Ukrainian territories and even within Russia.

And the U.N.

says that Russia continues to deny access to U.N.

monitors in its territory.

The report goes on to say 310 cases of conflict related sexual violence reported.

were documented.

These include an overwhelming number of men, which is 280 men, 26 women and six girls.

The UN accusing that these were all perpetrated by Russian armed and security forces.
