    The Israeli authorities didn't let the researchers talk to any of the alleged victims personally so, yeah, there's that.

    Israeli state: "These people have been raped and coerced by Hamas!" Investigators: "can we talk to them directly?" Israeli stats: "no."

      Do you have any source for this. I don't doubt it but I need to debunk this crap that I don't believe is true.

        I'll look for it. I saw it in a newsarticle from my country's region, which is pro-western, anti-israel.in theory but sending weapons nonetheless in practice kind of country.

        Show and here's a screenshot.

        The last sentence of this screenshot literally translates to: researchers spoke to Israeli institutions but were not able to speak to victims directly.
