Britain, Australia, and Canada have condemned Israel's decision to close its investigation into an April 1 airstrike that killed seven aid workers from the World Central Kitchen organization in Gaza, the Shehab Wire reported. The three countries described the military's move as "shameful," signaling rare diplomatic criticism from Western allies of Israel over the incident.
The strike destroyed a convoy operated by the humanitarian organization as it delivered food assistance in the territory. The attack marked one of the highest-profile incidents involving international aid workers since the war began. Israel's military announced the investigation's closure without releasing detailed findings or taking accountability measures for the deaths of the aid workers.
