The Israeli Foreign Ministry said the piece contained \u201cdefamation\u201d and likened the allegation to a \u201cblood libel,\u201d adding that there was no independent evidence backing the anonymous claims in the column. Israel also pointed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/graphic-report-reveals-new-evidence-of-rape-sexual-violence-from-october-7-terrorist-attack\/\" title=\"New report uncovers fresh evidence of rape and sexual violence in October 7 terrorist attack\">sexual violence committed<\/a> by Hamas during the Oct. 7 attacks and said Kristof\u2019s portrayal unfairly shifts blame onto Israel.
