Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged on Tuesday that an Israeli airstrike tragically resulted in the accidental deaths of seven individuals associated with the aid organization World Central Kitchen in Gaza. Following this incident, the United States and other allies have demanded explanations, as condemnation from around the world mounts.
Israel’s military has expressed profound regret for the tragic occurrence. This event has intensified international calls for measures to alleviate the dire humanitarian conditions prevailing in Gaza, especially as it approaches six months since Israel’s imposition of a siege and invasion of the Palestinian enclave.
