During a recent announcement, Matthew Miller, spokesperson for the State Department, shed light on Hamas’ decision to keep some of the women in captivity, indicating the terror group’s apparent hesitation in allowing them to testify about the sexual violence they endured in Gaza.
According to the State Department, this deliberate choice by Hamas to withhold additional captives reflects a strategic move aimed at preventing the revelation of the continuous atrocities inflicted on Israeli women and girls.
