President Joe Biden has condemned the "horrific" sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas during its attacks on Israel on October 7. In a recent speech at a Boston political fundraiser, Biden highlighted the disturbing accounts of brutality witnessed and experienced by survivors.
He emphasized the global responsibility to unequivocally denounce these acts of violence by Hamas terrorists.
Biden's comments were focused on the shocking reports of sexual abuse, with survivors sharing details of repeated rape, mutilation, and desecration of women's bodies.
He stressed the necessity for a united stance from governments, international organizations, civil society, and businesses against such atrocities.
Furthermore, Biden addressed the failure of the ceasefire with Israel, attributing it to Hamas's refusal to release female hostages in Gaza.
He noted that Hamas had retained a number of women, aged between 20 and 39, despite the truce agreement.
The President expressed a firm commitment to securing the release of these hostages and ensuring their safe return to their families, stating that the U.S. will persist in this effort until every hostage is brought home.
