Investigating gender-based violence by Hamas

There’s hope in Israel as more hostages are expected to be released as part of an extended truce between Hamas and Israel. But the horrors of October 7 are still being uncovered with Israeli police and a civil commission compiling evidence of rape and sexual assault against women by Hamas. Some say those harrowing stories have been ignored by international communities. This includes Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, Israeli legal scholar, who feels "completely betrayed" by women's rights organizations. She joins the show to discuss this, followed by Deputy Executive Director of UN Women, who defends her organization. 

Also on today's show: Omer Benjakob, disinformation and cyber reporter for Haaretz; actor Colman Domingo; former chief speechwriter for US President Jimmy Carter
