Foreign Ministry: Not a single story about an Israeli woman or a photo of one of the women who were abducted by Hamas , or the mothers of young Israeli women who are held by Hamas .

Israel 's Foreign Ministry noted that while the stories of Palestinian women were frequently shared on UN Women's social media, there was little mention of the female hostages held in Gaza .

In November , UN Women posted a condemnation of the sexual violence - naming Hamas as the perpetrators.

However, the page quickly deleted the post and shared a plea for the release of hostages.

The deleted post caused significant backlash and kickstarted the social media campaign #MeToo_UNless_UR_a_Jew.
