After confronting UN, ex-hostage Ilana Gritzewsky tells 'Post' of sexual abuse in Hamas captivity

Ilana Gritzewsky, a former Israeli hostage held by Hamas, spoke to The Jerusalem Post about her experience of sexual abuse during her captivity. She described being threatened with marriage and forced motherhood by her captor and expressed frustration over the lack of international recognition of such crimes committed against Israeli victims. Gritzewsky emphasized the importance of sharing her story to empower others who have suffered similar fates but lacked the ability to speak out. She criticized the United Nations for allegedly silencing or denying reports of sexual violence against Jewish individuals, questioning why such claims are often dismissed as propaganda. Her comments came after she addressed the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women, accusing them of remaining silent despite clear evidence.
