In an interview with ‘Sputnik’ to be published in full tomorrow, Monday at 01:00 PM GMT, she added that “the reality for Palestinian women is extremely dire, as Israel has targeted more than 15,000 women in the Gaza Strip over the past few months, including 12,300 women martyrs.” She confirmed that arbitrary arrests are practiced against hundreds of Palestinian women who have been subjected to detention and abuse in Israeli prisons, deprived of food and medicine, and subjected to sexual harassment and rape. The minister criticized the “international silence over the violations and crimes, especially against women,” and called for the implementation of international legitimacy resolutions, holding Israel accountable, and applying women’s laws to Palestinian women.
