The U.S. House of Representatives has overwhelmingly approved a bill that would bar members of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Palestine Liberation Organization and individuals involved in the October 7, 2023, attacks against Israel from entering the United States or receiving immigration benefits.

Reem Alsalem, the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, faced backlash after stating that no independent investigation found rape occurred during Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack on Israel. Her November 14, 2025, post on X implied no such sexual violence took place, contradicting multiple reports and confessions. Israeli officials and others condemned the remarks as a denial of documented atrocities.
