Britain, Canada, and Australia on Friday condemned Israel's decision to close an investigation into the deaths of seven World Central Kitchen employees killed in Gaza in 2024, calling the move "shameful," Al-Monitor reported. The victims included three British nationals, a dual US-Canadian citizen, and a Polish national.
The closure marks an abrupt end to scrutiny of the incident, which drew immediate international criticism when it occurred. The three countries' joint rebuke signals sustained diplomatic pressure on Israel over both the deaths themselves and the decision to halt the probe without reaching conclusions about accountability.
