Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh today condemned what he described as an outrageous violation committed against Palestinian women in Hebron, referring to the forced strip-search of five Palestinian women by Israeli soldiers during a military raid into Hebron in July.
According to Haaretz, two masked Israeli women soldiers with rifles and an attack dog forced five female members of a Palestinian family to strip naked in the West Bank city of Hebron in July. The soldiers threatened to release the dog if the women did not comply, reported Haaretz.
The prime minister described this Israeli measure as a shameful act that reflects the low level of the practices reached by the occupation against the Palestinian people without the slightest regard for international laws and regulations.
Commenting on what was revealed by Israeli human rights organizations, Shtayyeh said, “Violating the sanctity of our homes and harming our women is a provocative, disgraceful, and terrible act, which is practiced only by those who are stripped of morals and human values.”
Shtayyeh called on the countries of the world to condemn these horrific violations and to bring the perpetrators to international justice.
