— 🇮🇱 NEW: Israeli police have launched an investigation into multiple claims of 'organized ritual sexual abuse' following testimonies by victims presented to lawmakers

The revelations, primarily from ultra-Orthodox communities, detail systematic abuse of children as young as five, allegedly implicating Jewish religious leaders, educators, police officers, and even current and former Knesset members.

Victims recounted gruesome details of torture and rape, often by groups and sometimes by their own parents, incorporating 'ritualistic and religious elements.' Other accounts included child trafficking and the filming of these acts.

Accusers and activists have noted a 'systemic indifference' to such cases and the reported involvement of powerful individuals, including a Likud MK under police investigation for rape who was appointed to a powerful committee.

Such cases of 'ritual sexual abuse' have been reported in Israel time and time again.

— 🇮🇷/🇺🇳 National Security Commission of the Iranian Parliament warns the Foreign Ministry against renewing cooperation with the IAEA:

'The great nation of Iran will never forget the blatant violation and cooperation of the Secretary General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) with the criminal Zionist regime, who, contrary to his legal duty, which was to strongly condemn the attack on the centers of peaceful nuclear activities of the Islamic Republic of Iran by the United States and the Zionist regime, chose a regrettable silence and did not fulfill his legal duty.

The National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, while re-condemning the Secretary General of the Agency, Rafael Grossi, who is a loyalist of the United States and the Zionist regime, strongly urges the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Atomic Energy Organization to strictly comply with the law of the Islamic Consultative Assembly of suspending all cooperation with the Agency.

The fact is that we do not trust the Agency, and we will not allow them to pave the way for further attacks by the United States and the Zionist regime on the nuclear sites of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
