...Now after 14 months of appeals for witnesses and evidence, Israeli prosecutor Moran Gaz has admitted her department has no evidence of any rapes or sexual assaults and is not filing any such cases for prosecution against the Palestinian attackers held in Israeli jails. Until recently, Gaz headed Israel’s Southern Prosecutor’s Office and was a member of the team investigating the militants arrested during the attack.
Speaking in an interview at the end of last month with the Israeli online daily Ynet, Gaz said that despite all their investigations, “In the end, we have no complainants.” No one came forward to give evidence. “We contacted women’s rights organizations and asked for cooperation. They told us that they [those allegedly abused] simply did not contact them.” Apparently, no one came forward to give evidence, even confidentially.
Gaz said that in such circumstances, it would be very difficult to obtain justice, particularly for sexual offenses, and asked the public to lower their expectations. She said that “the vast majority of them will not be able to meet the threshold of proof in court, and the criticism will ultimately come to the prosecutor’s office—unjustly.”
Coming from someone like Gaz who believes that the Palestinians detained by Israel during the October 7 attack “have no right to live,” this can only mean that Israel does not have one iota of evidence to substantiate the rape or sexual abuse claims.
