IDF revises policy to expand protections of soldiers accused of sexual harassment, assault

Résumé détaillé

Soldiers accused of sexual harassment will gain new rights during IDF inquiries, including access to allegations and evidence and the ability to indirectly question complainants.

The IDF has developed a new policy intended to protect and expand the rights of individuals suspected of sexual assault or harassment in cases that are not eligible for criminal prosecution, allowing suspects to receive greater details about allegations concerning them and choose questions to be asked of the alleged victim, among other new rights. The new policy was first reported on Ynet on Thursday, then independently verified by The Jerusalem Post. The policy applies specifically to cases referred to the IDF Chief of Staff's Gender Affairs Advisor that are not subject to a criminal investigation.
