The British government provided funding of 90k pounds to a report prepared by an Israeli group called The Dinah Project, which claims to document cases of sexual violence committed by Hamas during the October 7, 2023 attack.

This funding accounted for approximately 75% of the report’s budget, which the Israeli government used as a key propaganda tool before international organizations and global media.

The report, published under the title “A Quest for Justice: October 7 and Beyond,” relied on weak evidence compared to standard international practices for investigating sexual violence.

Its language described the participants in the attack as a “violent mob lacking any moral constraints.” After publication, the report was used in extensive Israeli propaganda campaigns, including digital advertisements worth billions of shekels and presentations in speeches before the United Nations Security Council and the United Nations.

Critics described the British funding as political complicity in support of an Israeli propaganda campaign, especially given Britain’s failure to fund similar investigations into sexual violence committed against Palestinians in Gaza.
