Israeli women chime in on #MeToo campaign

The avalanche of sexual abuse scandals in the United States has empowered prominent Israeli women to come forward about their stories of sexual harassment and assault.

Former Israeli President Moshe Katsav (C) arrives at the Supreme Court in Jerusalem, to hear the verdict of his appeal on a rape conviction, November 10, 2011. Katsav had denied charges he twice raped an aide when he was a cabinet minister in the late 1990s, and molested or sexually harassed two other women who worked for him during his 2000-2007 term as president.
