An Israeli website said that the war on Gaza had returned to what it called the feminist struggle. It said the feminist movement chose to focus on the attack of last October 7, ignoring the grave Israeli violations against the women of the Gaza Strip.
Samah Salaima wrote that she was not able to celebrate International Women’s Day this year, in light of a UN report that addressed allegations of Israeli women being subjected to violence. She said that part of the report also touched on the situation of Palestinian women during the war and their fear of human rights violations, but this was completely ignored.
