Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says explanations provided by Israel about the killing of seven people working for the aid charity World Central Kitchen in a Gaza airstrike were insufficient and unacceptable, and he demands further details.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the incident “a tragic event in which our forces unintentionally harmed noncombatants,” adding that “this happens in war.”
IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi said the strike was due to a “misidentification” made in complex, wartime conditions.
“That is unacceptable and insufficient, and we are awaiting a much stronger and more detailed clarification, after which we’ll see what action to take,” Sanchez tells a news briefing on Wednesday while visiting Qatar.
World Central Kitchen was founded by Spanish American chef Jose Andres.
