1. “The horrific, barbaric and brutal massacre of 7 October attests to their genocidal ideology. Designating Hamas as a terror organization would constitute one step forward in the global fight against impunity, and therefore in our collective effort to implement the women and peace and security agenda.”

2. “We recall resolutions 1820 (2008) and 1325 (2000) and call upon the international community, in particular the Security Council, to immediately and unequivocally condemn the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed against innocent women and girls in Israel by the jihadist terror organization of Hamas, and we call for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages held in Gaza. We further call upon the international community to do justice for the victims and survivors of the 7 October atrocities by bringing the perpetrators to justice. Therefore, we call upon the Security Council to include sexual violence as a designation criterion for the sanctions committee and to unanimously designate Hamas as a terror organization, as was done against the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Hamas is ISIL.”

3. “Regrettably, despite the need to fight violations of the human rights of women and girls, the need to take action against the perpetrators of conflict-related sexual violence and the need to create safe, secure and enabling environments for women peacebuilders and human rights defenders, the international community has failed to do so. Impunity for atrocities against women and girls remains prevalent. The systematic bias against the State of Israel is again rearing its head, this time at the expense of innocent lives. There must not be a place for double standards in the halls and chambers of the United Nations.”

4. “Twenty-four years have passed since the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000) at the Security Council, and we are still witnessing heinous crimes against women and girls, such as the one committed by the Hamas terror organization on 7 October in Israel. The testimonies, forensic reports and videos taken by the terrorists themselves all show the brutal gender-based and sexual-based violence, including rape and femicide, which paint an undeniable and grim picture of the reality that the international community failed to prevent. How am I to speak about the participation of women and girls in peace and security, when the women and girls in my country were the target — they were intentionally targeted — in attacks that amount to international war crimes and crimes against humanity?”

5. “It is our duty to stand united against such crimes, which violate the basic principles of human rights, as well as the Charter of the United Nations. Investing in women’s full participation is critical to preventing violence and promoting peace. Anyone who wishes a harmonious future for humankind must protect women’s freedom and seek to ensure gender inclusion. A peaceful and prosperous future is possible only if everyone is involved. Do not underestimate the power of believing in women.”

6. “It has carried out hundreds of training activities for more than 30,000 women and men across the globe, providing them with tools for women’s empowerment and development. In the past decade, for example, MASHAV — Israel’s agency for international development — has supported the establishment of the Africa Centre for Transformative and Inclusive Leadership in Kenya, which aims to enhance women’s leadership and economic independence across the continent. While empowering women is critical to ensuring female involvement, there are still places in which women continue to fight for their most basic human rights, such as Iran, where women have been brutally suppressed, and in Afghanistan, where the Taliban have cruelly prohibited women from accessing education or employment.”

7. “Moreover, our Ministry for Foreign Affairs appointed a special envoy in order to ensure the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) on a global scale. Recalling the efforts to streamline the gender perspective into peacekeeping operations, in line with the Secretary-General’s Action for Peacekeeping agenda, we echo our call for the development of a new mental health strategy, which should be formed with a gender perspective in order to increase support for all peacekeepers, regardless of their gender. The involvement of women in conflict resolution and resilience-building is crucial, and in order to guarantee their involvement in those processes, the first step must be to empower them. Israel’s Golda Meir Mount Carmel International Training Centre aims to promote gender equality globally.”

8. “Israel aligns itself with the statement delivered on behalf the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security, and I would like to add the following remarks in my national capacity. Since the moment of Israel’s establishment, female leadership and participation has been a championed value. Gender equality is enshrined in Israel’s Declaration of Independence, and we are proud and fortunate to have a legacy of strong female leaders. The State of Israel was one of the first United Nations Member States to incorporate the principles of resolution 1325 (2000) into its law with the adoption, in 1951, of the Women’s Equal Rights Law of Israel. Work is currently under way for the implementation of the national action plan for gender equality, led by Israel’s Authority for the Advancement of the Status of Women.”
