Sheryl Sandberg went to the United Nations on Monday to add pressure to a campaign asking members of the international body to condemn violent sexual acts committed by Hamas, calling incidents during the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel “war crimes.”

“Silence is complicity,” Meta Platforms Inc.’s former chief operating officer said at an event on gender-based violence arranged by Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan. Other high-profile speakers at the event included Hillary Clinton, who participated remotely.
