New York Times reports widespread sexual abuse of male and female Palestinians by Israeli soldiers, settlers, prison guards, and interrogators. Survivors describe systemic brutality. No official Israeli response yet.

Op your summary is wildly inaccurate. This is not the NY Times reporting on anything. This is an opinion piece. Now I'll grant you it's heartening that they allowed it to be published, though I suspect it was accompanied by or will soon be accompanied by either one or multiple horrific rebuttals because that's their MO. However it's not the same as reporting.
