What was said

"some of the claims that were made about October 7th, for example, that Hamas had weaponized rape and sexual violence, I don't believe those claims have been borne out by the available the available evidence."

Norman Finkelstein argues that claims Hamas “weaponised rape” on 7 October are not supported by the available evidence. He says “crimes of a significant magnitude” occurred that day, while a critic rejects his view and cites witness accounts and reporting.
