The founder of World Central Kitchen has accused Israel of systematically targeting the seven aid workers from his organization who were killed in Gaza this week. Chef José Andrés stated that the incident was not a result of 'bad luck' but a deliberate act.
Andrés emphasized that even if there was no coordination with the Israel Defense Forces, no democratic country or military should be targeting civilians and humanitarians. He condemned the attack as a violation of international humanitarian law.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged that Israeli forces unintentionally struck innocent people. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi described the incident as a 'grave mistake'.
The tragic event has sparked international outrage and calls for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the aid workers. The World Central Kitchen community mourns the loss of their colleagues and demands accountability for those responsible.
