Israel on Monday said it had recalled its ambassador to the United Nations for "immediate consultations" over what it said was a UN attempt to "silence" information about Hamas sexual violence.  

"I have ordered our Ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, to return to Israel for immediate consultations following the attempt to silence information on the mass rapes committed by Hamas and its collaborators on October 7," Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on social media platform X.
