President Isaac Herzog calls World Central Kitchen founder José Andrés, expressing “deep sorrow and sincere apologies” over the deadly strike on a WCK convoy last night, according to a statement from the President’s office.
Herzog adds that Israel is committed to carrying out a thorough investigation of the incident.
He also “affirmed Israel’s commitment to delivering and upgrading humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza,’ and thanked Andres and the WCK for their “commitment to the wellbeing of Israelis and Palestinians, and to the values of humanity.”
