FM updates counterparts on IDF probe into deadly WCK convoy strike

Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

Foreign Minister Israel Katz speaks overnight with his counterparts in the UAE, UK, Australia, Canada, Poland, and Japan to update them on the IDF probe into the deadly strike on the World Central Kitchen convoy.

There had been reports that the UAE has suspended diplomatic ties with Israel this week, which Israeli sources denied as “fake news.”

Katz also tells them about Israeli plans to increase the aid going into Gaza, The Times of Israel has learned.

During the security cabinet meeting last night, Katz opposed the use of Ashdod Port to bring in aid, arguing that it would place responsibility for getting aid into Gaza back onto Israel.
