Shoshana Strook, the daughter of the Israeli government’s far-right ‘Minister of Settlement and National Missions’ Orit Strook, has filed a formal complaint with Italian police accusing her parents and one of her brothers of sexually assaulting her for years.

In a social media statement, Shoshana Strook wrote of her alleged ordeal:

Hi, after a long period of doubts, extreme emotional states, and a lot of guilt, I wanted to share that I experienced sexual abuse by both of my parents and also by one of my brothers.

In addition, memories have surfaced in which I hit three of my younger brothers. I’m currently in Italy and recently filed a report with the police.

Many memories have been coming up lately, but it’s becoming too overwhelming. I hope to find a place where I can find some relief.

Orit Strook is a fanatical supporter of Israel’s illegal settlements on stolen Palestinian land and has pushed and amplified the extremist Netanyahu government’s narrative, including disproven claims of sexual violence on 7 October 2023, which the regime has used as justification for its genocide and other crimes in Gaza. She has also opposed attempts to agree a ceasefire.
